Colbert: We Can’t Have A Female President Because Oval Office Is ‘Penis-Activated’ (VIDEO)

Stephen Colbert wholeheartedly agrees with Fox News host Bill O’Reilly’s belief that there must be a “downside” to having a female president.

The comedian listed the more practical reasons why America would suffer if a woman were commander-in-chief on Wednesday’s “The Colbert Report.”

“I mean how is she going to press the nuclear launch button? Everything in the Oval Office is penis-activated,” he said. “It’s been that way since the Kennedy administration.”

“Plus — and I don’t wanna get too technical or scientific — but women sit down to pee,” he added. “And if there’s a terror attack, a man can just zip up and go.”

Colbert also agreed with O’Reilly’s foreign policy concerns. The Fox News host had been skeptical that a female leader could stand up to the likes of Russian President Vladimir Putin, or deal with the “Mullahs in Iran” who “think women are like subspecies.”

“That’s right, our president cannot be something that other countries disapprove of,” the comedian said. “We are the leader of the free world, so we need to vote for whatever Iran wants.”
