Stephen Colbert felt bad last night that John Boehner has been taking so much heat for comparing the financial crisis to “killing an ant with a nuclear weapon.” Colbert said: “Republicans prefer to kill ants with magnifying glasses. Or as they call it ‘sunboarding.'”

Colbert continued that Boehner’s also faced “vicious hate speech” from MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, who accused Boehner of being lazy. Scarborough, said Colbert, is “racist against Tangelo-Americans.” We’ve heard it before, he added: “Orange people don’t like to work. Orange people just drink all day. Orange people hate Mondays and love lasagna.”

“I hope that next week is better for you and your son, Chester Cheetah,” Colbert said.
