Stephen Colbert Enraged Over Four More Years Of ‘Hopey Change’

Colbert Report host Stephen Colbert did not take Obama’s re-election victory sitting down. He was more, like, listlessly slumped over on a bag of cheesy popcorn.

That is, until the rage set in.

Scattering popcorn all over his desk, Colbert yelled at his audience, asking them if they think he just does all this for their personal amusement. After all, instead of heeding his numerous warnings over the years, they went out and chose four more years of “hopey change.”

After a certain hand gesture, Colbert was then gently reminded that he is contractually obligated to do his show. “Last night,” he reported, “due to the technicality called ‘the Constitution,’ Barack Obama was re-elected president. Though–”

At this point, the audience’s cheers drowned out Colbert, prompting him to cut through the noise with a curt “[FRISK] you.”

“Keep in mind that this was no landslide, folks,” he continued. “It was like a 51/49er, ok? Just because Obama won these blue states up here, he’s the president of all of them now?”

“America is done! It’s over,” he said, cuing the closing credits. (Turns out that America is, to no one’s surprise, executive produced by Jesus. His best work since 1961’s Attack Of The 20-Foot Spring Break Go-Go Ladies Fun Time Dance Party Murder Riot.)
