CBS The Late Show host Stephen Colbert commemorated International Women’s Day on Wednesday by lamenting the state of women’s rights around the world including in Iran, Afghanistan, and the United States. For the Catholic Colbert, the downfall of Roe v. Wade means that Justice Samuel Alito is just as much of a “turd” as the Taliban. …
Moving on, Colbert lamented, “Now, unfortunately, it’s not been a great year for the ladies. In Iran, almost 4,000 women have been arrested in protests. In Afghanistan, the Taliban has cracked down on women’s rights, and right here in the U.S., the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. It’s gotten so bad that Beyoncé updated her hit song.”
A brief parody of Beyoncé was then shown, “Who run the world? Turds!” The parody included photos of Alito, Elon Musk, and the Taliban, all of whom received the “turd” label.
[I’ve known middle-schoolers who can use the English language better than Colbert. He slung the turd label at Tucker Carlson earlier this week too. That suggests a rather strange obsession with fecal evacuation on Colbert’s part, which would explain the general quality of both his show and his observations. — Ed]
