McCain, You're A Stupid Idiot (According To You) In a memorable segment from "The Late Show," Stephen Colbert humorously critiques John McCain's contradictory stance regarding the Senate's "Nuclear Option." Colbert reflects on a time when McCain labeled anyone who would support this measure as a "stupid idiot" while highlighting McCain's eventual support for it. The video opens with a playful jab at House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, who "stepped aside" from the Trump-Russia investigation, followed by impassioned commentary on the contentious nomination of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch. Colbert captures the chaos of Senate activities, noting how the Democrats successfully filibustered Gorsuch's nomination only for Senate Republicans to change the rules to advance it anyway. Colbert cleverly juxtaposes McCain's earlier remarks against his later actions, noting that it's quite ironic for someone who once claimed that supporting the Nuclear Option was idiotic to suddenly back it himself. The comedic pace of the monologue drives home the confusion and irony of political flip-flopping, illustrated by Colbert’s sarcastic conclusion: "Well, Senator McCain, you’re a stupid idiot." The backdrop of this segment features a lively audience, emphasizing the show's blend of humor and political critique. McCain's comments exemplify the tumultuous nature of Washington politics, where allegiances and beliefs can rapidly shift. For viewers looking for sharp political satire infused with humor, this piece serves as an engaging reminder of the often absurd nature of political correctness and decisions in Congress.
