Colbert Relies On Joe Biden For ‘Comic Relief’

The only thing that helps Stephen Colbert stomach President Obama’s “socialist policy” is his sidekick — Vice President Joe Biden.

From imitating an Indian accent to calling “jobs” a three-letter word, Biden “can always be relied upon for some comic relief,” Colbert said on Monday. And over the weekend, Biden did it again. He essentially came out for gay marriage on Meet the Press, saying he doesn’t see a distinction between a man marrying a man and a woman marrying a man.

“You don’t see a distinction between a guy with a guy and a guy with a girl?” Colbert asked. “Your wife is a doctor, she could draw you a diagram.” But the gaffe wasn’t Biden’s fault, Colbert said. He was influenced by “powerful cultural forces”: Will and Grace.
