Stephen Colbert this holiday season is most thankful for Mitt Romney, who on Monday got a tip of Colbert’s hat.
A new Romney ad “nails” President Obama using his own words, Colbert said. Actually, the ad shows Obama quoting former Republican presidential candidate John McCain. But who cares! They’re Obama’s words now.
“Now sure … that may look like an unfair edit by Romney,” Colbert said, “but later I will edit this so it doesn’t.”
“The point is, those words came out of Obama’s face,” Colbert added. “Now they’re his words. Just like some my most famous quotes” — like, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” and “love thy neighbor as thyself.”
