Colbert Thanks Nazis for Getting Congress to Agree on Something

Stephen Colbert opened his show last night with a rare bit of bipartisan agreement. “Democrats say tomato, Republicans say leave John Boehner alone,” the host said, “which is why nothing ever gets done in Congress, until now.”

From there, he reported the “No Social Security for Nazis Act,” which would do just that, preventing Nazi suspects from collecting Social Security benefits. “It’s the most popular bill to come out of Congress since ‘No pre-K for the KKK,'” Colbert said.

In honor of the one things that could bring Democrats and Republicans together, Colbert said, “Nazis, I know I’ve come down on you in the past, and you deserved all of it, you’re bad, but you got Congress to agree on something.” With that, he turned to the camera and said:

“OK?” Colbert said to any potential enemies watching at home. “Now you’re on your honor not to use that, people who seek to destroy me.”
