Colbert Reminds Obama to Thank McCain, Cheney for Being Right About Iraq

Stephen Colbert devoted some time last night to covering Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)’s cable victory lap, Dick Cheney‘s redemption, and George W. Bush‘s “eerie” prophecy that an early withdrawal from Iraq would have bad consequences.

“It’s like he’s some kind of prophet,” Colbert mused. “What’s his name — Nostra-dumbass. It really seemed like he could see the future in 2007. If only he could have seen it in 2003.”

If he could have seen the war in 2007, then, Colbert asked, would his other predictions come true If so, Barack Obama should really be on the lookout for minotaurs.
