That’s perfect – there’s one for each of his secret children (Queen Victoria spinning in her grave)

October 2022

“We have news of a new UK prime minister: Rishi Sunak, the former finance minister, who on Tuesday became Britain’s first prime minister of south Asian descent, its first Hindu prime minister and the nation’s first leader of color. Which means Britons will be able to run their entire power grid off the turbines connected to Queen Victoria spinning in her grave.” —Stephen Colbert

“Sunak took over from Liz Truss, who resigned on Thursday after just 45 days in office, the shortest tenure in British history. That’s not a term in office. That’s a juice cleanse.” —Stephen Colbert

“On to domestic politics, namely the contentious Senate race between Democrat Raphael Warnock and former football star and ‘steroids Erkel’ Herschel Walker in Georgia. Among numerous scandals, Walker has lied about his work with law enforcement and flashed an honorary sheriff badge during a debate. OK, but that doesn’t make you a real cop! That’s why flight attendants don’t ever say, ‘attention, passengers, we have a medical emergency in the cabin. Does anybody here have an honorary doctorate? Fine arts or better only.’ Yet Walker has grabbed that crazy ball and has run with it, as his campaign has ordered 1,000 imitation plastic law enforcement badges that say ‘I’m with Herschel’ as a fundraising tool. A thousand toy badges? That’s perfect – there’s one for each of his secret children.” —Stephen Colbert

and Orwell’s 1984.”
