[See NewsBusters for more.] Liberal CBS host Stephen Colbert is still not over the election results. On the most recent Late Show, he wondered aloud how God could “let” Donald Trump win. This is the same man who freaked out on Tuesday night, blurting, “What the fuck is happening?” During Wednesday’s monologue, Colbert lamented, “I'm a man of some faith, but when bad things like this happen like this—  and this does feel bad—  I have to ask, how could God let this happen?” A skit followed in which Colbert talked to a clueless “God.” The deity rambled, “Oh, yeah, the election. You must all be real excited about the first woman president. You're welcome, America.”
