Stephen Colbert last night started out on a serious note, offering condolences to the families and friends of the victims of Saturday’s mass shooting that left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords hospitalized in critical condition.

“We, of course, send our thoughts and prayers,” Colbert said. He then added that now is not the time to “lay blame or politicize” the tragedy, only to follow by showing a handful of highly politicized pundits reacting to the shooting.

“Oh, I guess I’m wrong,” Colbert said. “Did we pick someone to blame yet? Well get on it, I look like an idiot out here.”
