Stephen Colbert is pleased the Osama bin Laden is dead, but he wishes President Obama wasn’t getting all the credit.
On his show Thursday night, Colbert said he longed for old Obama, the one who was easier to criticize because he hadn’t killed bin Laden. And as for the killing itself, Colbert was upset that it had altered the Muslim attack angle on the president.
“I don’t like this new Obama who hunts Muslim extremists,” Colbert said. “I like the old Obama who is a Muslim extremist.”
Colbert also said he couldn’t buy into the nit-picky criticisms of Obama’s handling of bin Laden, particularly his decision to not release photos of bin Laden’s dead body.
“That’s like criticizing sex for ripping down the shower curtain.”
