Since when does a comedy skit count as an insurrection?

 On June 16, staff members from The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, including comedian-puppeteer Robert Smigel  (w/Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog) had finished taping some segments for future use, but lingered too long, it seems, and were arrested. As Colbert himself explained on Monday, everything was fine and professionally handled.

But try telling that to right wing morons like Tabloid Carlson, who claimed the skits were part of an insurrection. Colbert, of course, set him straight, but I doubt ol' Tabloid will be listening. Instead, what Carlson decided to do, predictably, was deflect from the January 6 select committee's public hearings, which Carlson thinks aren't drawing flies. Get out of the bubble and enjoy reality, you trust fund jackass.

What Colbert did, in describing what happened, was, on behalf of his staff, own the situation. Something GOPers don't know anything about. The GOPers have lost sight of what their party actually represents, trapped in a Twilight Zone-esque netherworld created by the Human Annoying Orange. They'll cry wolf too often, and, well, I think you know how that ends.......
