[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS' Stephen Colbert hosted "a very special" edition of The Late Show on Friday night to celebrate President Biden's first 100 days in office. So successful has Biden been, Colbert argued, that the GOP has been relegated to complaining about the emasculation of Mr. Potato Head.
Colbert dismissed concerns from Republicans and even some more moderate Democrats that Biden wants to force through his priorities without bipartisan support. After all, why should he work with Republicans when Tucker Carlson is just too mean, "And why wouldn't president Biden want to work more closely with Republicans? Well, it could have something to do with right-wing talk show hosts like Tucker Carlson who echoed 'talking points painting Biden as a mentally-unfit "Puppet" who was being controlled by outside forces.'"
