Colbert Defends Drudge’s ‘Fair and Reasonable’ Hillary Walker Theory

When Karl Rove suggested Hillary Clinton might have brain damage, Stephen Colbert wondered whether Rove may have a “serious brain injury” of his own. But now that Matt Drudge is asking whether Clinton was leaning on a walker in her new People magazine cover, Colbert think he just may have a point.

“That’s a fair and reasonable question,” Colbert said of Walker-gate. “I do not doubt for a second that if Hillary Clinton used a walker, she would insist on appearing with it on the cover of People magazine.” Even after People clarified that Clinton was standing next a patio chair, Colbert said that was just a euphemism for “stationary poolside Jazzy.”

Naturally, Colbert took Drudge’s conspiracy theory a few steps further, wondering whether Hillary Clinton in fact beat The Brady Bunch’s Ann B. Davis to death with her walker.
