Stephen Colbert cannot not believe the gaffes Mike Huckabee has made recently, such as aligning himself with Darth Vader and incorrectly identifying President Obama’s foreign origins.

The first “Huckabomb” fell when Huckabee knocked actress Natalie Portman for being unwed and pregnant. Yet since Portman once played the role of Sat Wars hero Luke Skywalker’s mother, Colbert said that Huckabee’s attack had essentially aligned the former Arkansas governor with the evil empire.

But Huckabee’s biggest mistake was in saying that Obama grew up in Kenya.

“In case you missed it, [Huckabee] said Obama grew up in Kenya, with his Kenyan father, Kenya, Kenya, Kenya,” Colbert said.

Yet as Colbert explained Monday night, that just isn’t true at all.

“Obama didn’t grow up in Kenya,” he said. “He was born in Kenya, before moving to Islamistan, where he then traveled back in time to plant his birth announcement in a Hawaiian newspaper.”
