Colbert has his swimlane. Well done Steven.
The anointed King of Late Night. The scorpion was killer but Carol Burnett’s Tarzan and Kevin Spacey’s Jimmy Stewart impression made for classic TV like we haven’t seen in a long time.
That bizarre scorpion ad by Cruz ranks up there with Fiorina’s Demon Sheep ad. I wonder if the same agency did both.
The scorpion in the image is an Emperor. It’s a West African, not a Middle Eastern species.
Well, then, Cruz just lost my vote. No competent scorpion-fighter would make a mistake like that.
It’s very simple, really…the scorpion represents the Scorpion King! Cruz is warning us against ancient Egyptian monstrosities!
And the least toxic scorpion on the planet - mostly harmless to humans.
Um Why don’t you just step on the scorpion?
Great observation! It’s the perfect analogy for the GOTP, who foment hysterical fear while overlooking genuine danger. That is, the barren desert is representative of what we face if something isn’t done about climate change.
Another testament to Cruz’s idiocy.
“Reagan was so afraid of the bear he kept Nancy in a bag hanging from a tree”
Well done
Good to have Colbert back.
