EXCERPT:
COLBERT: “But remember, there’s more important things in life than winning or losing. There’s making fun of Kevin McCarthy for losing. Because he did lose. They adjourned for the day with no speaker, right, they are gone, they called it. And this is a historic de-pantsing, because a speaker vote has not gone to even a second ballot in a century. That was back in 1923, when the house deadlocked over the radical and controversial candidacy of Congressman Flapper Jazzman. So far, McCarthy is not backing down. His plan appears to be to continue voting, over and over again, in a bid to wear down his detractors until he gets the gavel. You know, Kevin, you can just buy a gavel. I did. And I find you guilty! Still got you. Still got you after the first disastrous vote, Kevin McCarthy tried to stay positive, walking around with a big fake grin on what some historians are calling his “face.” For that footage, wow, it really looks like Kevin McCarthy enjoys watching Kevin McCarthy get humiliated. Maybe he really does understand the American people!”
