Stephen Colbert was stunned on Thursday night to see that, somehow, Fox News beat him to the news that Fox was suspending two contributors who had signaled their intent to run for president next year.
Once the shock wore off and realization set in, Colbert then worried how the loss of Fox contributors Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum would impact the network’s coverage going forward.
“With these two off the air, how will I ever know how conservatives feel about taxes?”
And if Fox had to let those two contributors go, what about the other Fox pundits who are also believed to be considering presidential bids, including Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin? At the very least, Colbert said, Fox has one person who clearly isn’t running for president any time soon: Glenn Beck.
“Luckily this does not affect Glenn Beck,” Stephen said, “because based on his show, he’s looking past 2012 and running for Arch Duke of the post-apocalyptic afterscape.”
