Late Night Show Host Stephen Colbert might see a 2024 threat to his beloved Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. The liberal host decided to trash Florida Governor Ron DeSantis because of Florida’s spike in Covid cases. Mocking the seriousness of it all, he jeered, “Florida has broken its record for all new coronavirus cases.... Look how red and inflamed that thing is! Someone better rub some ointment on the panhandle!” The hypocritical former- comedian-turned-Democratic-hack had no such Covid worry at Barack Obama's extravagant birthday celebration. He was just sad to be disinvited from the "cool kids party."
Colbert derided DeSantis. “DeSantis isn't worried,” Colbert said after his audience booed the Florida Governor. “He says that the spike is seasonal, as Floridians spend more time together indoors to escape the summer heat. Yeah. It's just like when the governor of Pompeii announced, "Hey guys! Ignore the rain of ash! It's just volcano season! Okay, let's all make a fun pose for no reason!"
It is really ironic that Colbert is mocking Florida for spreading COVID when apparently he didn’t have a problem with Obama threw a huge party for his 60th birthday. Though he did seem a little sad that he wasn’t invited.
“It just goes to show, you kids, that if you work hard, put in your time, and get the number one show in late night television, you too can get disinvited from the cool kids' party,” said Colbert, referring to Obama’s party.
"By the way, Mr. Former President, my own 60th birthday is coming up in three years, and you, sir, are not... going to want to miss it,” Colbert said, sucking up to Obama. “Please come. I'd be so honored you came. I'd scale me back just to make room for you. And Michelle, obviously. You're lovely people. Happy birthday, sir.”
Guess Obama’s birthday party won’t be considered a “super spreader event.”

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
8/9/2021
11:42:31 pm
STEPHEN COLBERT: It just goes to show, you kids, that if you work hard, put in your time, and get the number one show in late night television, you too can get disinvited from the cool kids' party. (Cheers and applause) By the way -- (cheers and applause) True story. True. By the way, Mr. Former President, my own 60th birthday is coming up in three years, and you, sir, are not... Going to want to miss it. Please come. I'd be so honored you came. I'd scale me back just to make room for you. And Michelle, obviously. Your lovely people. Happy birthday, sir. It's not just Obama's birthday party. The delta variant is ruining a lot of plans. I'll tell you all about it in my newest viral segment, "The Delta Blues”
BAND: (plays a song)
COLBERT: Nicely done. Beautiful, beautiful. Sold his soul to the devil for that song. (Laughter) Earlier this summer, it looked like the pandemic might be ending. In June, the U.S. Was averaging about 11,000 cases a day, but thanks to the delta variant, we're right back in some "Muddy Waters," because now the number is over 100,000. Hold on one second. Okay. It was 1 -- it was 11,000 the beginning of May. It was 107,000 two months ago. It's got a reproduction rate of r-8, carry the 1, that equals -- (laughter)
Oh my God, someone else touched this machine! All right, all right, there you go. There you go, buddy. There you go. Oh, I've missed you vodka hands. ( Laughter ) ( Applause ) This fourth wave is being caused by the delta variant, which has a shorter incubation period and spreads much faster than COVID classic, as one epidemiologist explained:
DOCTOR: This is maybe the most contagious virus that we've ever seen in living memory.
COLBERT: Yes, it's going through America faster than mono through a high school drama club. (Laughter) Of course, he's just one guy. What does he know? His name is only doctor Larry Brilliant. (Laughter) I want a second opinion that says everything is going to be okay. Somebody call doctor Bobby DumbassAs with all bad news, there's bad, and then there's Florida, which has broken its own record (booing starts)-either you’re huge fans of Florida or you’re not. I can’t tell. Florida has broken its record for all new coronavirus cases. Look how red and inflamed that thing is. Someone better rub some ointment on the panhandle! One TV doctor explained it this way:
DOCTOR: It's so high in Florida that I think that if Florida were another country, we would have to consider banning travel from Florida to the United States.
COLBERT: Good luck! ( Cheers and applause ) No. You can clap all you want, you will never keep Floridians out. You could build a wall, but they'd just pound mojitos and banana boat right over it. Now there is one man in Florida who is not worried: Governor and caveman asking -- ( booing ) Hold for booing -- ( laughter ) -- Ron Desantis. Desantis isn't worried. He says that the spike is seasonal, as Floridians spend more time together indoors to escape the summer heat. Yeah. It's just like when the governor of Pompeii announced, "Hey guys! Ignore the rain of ash! It's just volcano season! Okay, let's all make a fun pose for no reason!" ( Cheers and applause ) Too soon? Too soon?
