This segment was a little more of a throwback due to how much of a blast from the past it was. If you've stopped watching his show after the first week, you've missed some incredible political commentary. I suggest you drop what you're doing right now and find every "Hungry for Power Games" segment he's done thus far.

Colbert is the GOAT.
Can we please get a GIF of Colbert the crab?

Exactly. Everyone is ridiculing her but honestly the base she talks to eats that shit up. Same people who love Rush Limbaugh and love to hear all his insults on the libtards and the feminazis (now being termed sjws) and acing as if anything PC is terrorist and America as the tough guy. People who want to see in black and white.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
America needs to segway from its War on Drugs and War on Terror to the true enemy.

I read that she holds a lot of sway with evangelicals and having her support Trump instead of Cruz is a big deal for that group.

Why does her open eye look over at her winking eye?
John Dunbar
correct about everything
unfortunately she is not going anywhere.
Wait, Rush has adopted the SJW acronym?
That explains SO MUCH about the increase in casual SJW mentions here on GAF in recent weeks.
People use the phrase unironically despite its invocation being the equivalent of a dunce cap.
It can't be trusted, it's on the left.
Bravo
Oh you.

OK I'm legit curious about why Palin mentions Greek columns in an insulting way like that. Like wtf?
Is it some kind of gay joke? What is wrong with Greek columns are they somehow too cosmopolitan or something? Also does she or her supporters think that Obama added those columns to the white house? I know they weren't there when they first built the place but I'm pretty sure theyve been up for like a century at this point. Why is there any association between Obama and Greek columns at all?
Straight up baffling.

Look at what this person explained.
Back in 2008, one of the narratives that the GOP wanted to push about Obama is that he was an elitist, arrogant person who was already presuming that he would become president (it would serve as a nice contrast with the "humble war hero" narrative for McCain if they could make it stick). And so when the stage was being built in the Denver stadium, conservative commentators noticed that it was being set up rather elaborately, with Greek columns and whatnot. And of course, that fed into the desired negative narrative and so they went after him with it.
Here's an article describing the stage (not necessarily attacking him for it - just describing it):

And here's a New York Post article criticizing him for it:

A snippet from that article:
And here's a picture of a part of it:
Watching it on television, the set looked great - as if he was delivering a night-time address from just outside the west wing...

Oh I know people love it, but it's so sad how she's just two or three IQ points away from grunts and ughs.
The US would implode on itself.

Can't forget about the time her own teleprompter failed almost exactly one year ago.

Do you guys think her career will be ok after Colbert destroyed her? She might not be able to get hired for any more speaking jobs or TV shows.
It's what idiots do.
Surefire way to detect them, instead of asking "do you actually believe that?" I ask them to wink. Weeds out the trolls.
If i just raise my voice word by word to a crescendo these people will never know. And so it was.
