Everyone should find a person that looks at them the way Stephen Colbert looks at Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. On Thursday’s Late Show, Colbert did everything short of throwing rose petals at Pelosi’s feet as he opened his show with a fawning video tribute to his idol.
Hardly inexperienced in the practice of creating nauseating segments to appease his ultra-left audience, the music video salute to Pelosi may take the cake for worst of the worst. If you thought the “impeachment tree” was egregious…proceed to look at the clip below with caution.
The song begins with a snippet of CNN’s Jim Sciutto alerting his audience of Pelosi’s decision to move forward with impeachment: “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing to the country and to the world that Articles of Impeachment against President Trump will proceed.” In an effort to create the image of a ‘strong woman,' a soundbite from Pelosi’s press conference then cuts in as she says, “Don't mess with me.”
To a wildly applauding audience, the video proceeded to cast Pelosi as a heroic woman who has been tasked with saving the country from peril (something that Colbert clearly believes to be the case):
DC's got its hustlers. The White House got its bum. Speaker of the House is Nancy Pelosi she's as pantsuited as they come. If you violate the Constitution she's not a grandma you wanna cross
Ahh yes. Pelosi is here to defend the Constitution because no one else in Washington will. The adulation fest continued:
Though Donald Trump calls her nervous Nancy he better best call her boss. Just because they say, you don't quid pro quo quo on her watch. You don't withhold Ukraine finances. You don't hand foreign policy to Guliani. And you don't mess around with Nancy.
Is it possible Colbert is dreaming of a succession of power that leaves Speaker Pelosi as President? His calls for removal of President Trump and Vice President Pence would suggest as much.

JIM SCIUTTO: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing to the country and to the world that Articles of Impeachment against President Trump will proceed.
NANCY PELOSI: Don't mess with me.
NARRATOR (SINGING): DC's got its hustlers. The White House got its bum. Speaker of the House is Nancy Pelosi she's as pantsuited as they come. If you violate the Constitution she's not a grandma you wanna cross. Though Donald Trump calls her nervous Nancy he better best call her boss. Just because they say, you don't quid pro quo quo on her watch. You don't withhold Ukraine finances. You don't hand foreign policy to Guliani. And you don't mess around with Nancy.
