I am not sure if Stephen has been waiting 7 years to do his “Nell” impression, but he got his chance and it will make you giggle a little too much, at least if you are me. Now I know I am definitely voting for Barack-abaman-ney. (Like-a-lay.)
Be sure to take the time to purchase a Wristrong bracelet, if you haven’t already done so. Visit colberntation.com, and support The Yellow Ribbon Fund, one of Stephen’s signature charities.

Stephen Colbert’s 2012 Debate Coverage
- The President did nothing to stop the march of time.
“I was playing a drinking game last night, where I took a shot of Manischewitz every time someone said “Israel,” and by the end of the debate I was totally diabetic.”
- I’m still pretty far, away, the “mentos-and-coke” stage, but still.
- FDR never bowed for foreign leaders! He never stood for them.
- Yes, Romney’s face totally kicked Obama’s face’s ass.
“See that’s nice, it reminds me of a benevolent angel watching me shower.”
- And he achieved “plausible.” Millions of Americans looked at Romney and said, “he looks like he could sit in an oval room.”
Illusive, Mysterious Voters
“And as we know from history, the rules clearly dictate, that in the even of a tie, our next president will be George W. Bush. We miss you sir, we miss you. “
“The illusive, undecided voter. I wonder what he is thinking. …or if. ” “The electoral kitchen is closing in 2 weeks, and they still can’t decide if they want the black and white cookie, or the decaf wheat thin.”
They’re elusive! But we know that they’re out there. These campaigns have spent billions of dollars trying to capture them with lawn signs, TV ads, radio spots, internet banners, robo calls, and for some lucky Ohio voters, an amorous David Axelrod with a rose in his teeth.
“via satellite”
- Stephen: Now Nell, you are a feral, backwoods woman who knows nothing nothing of either of these candidates, or, for that matter, human society. Which way are you leaning?
- Nell: I like-a Rom-a-nay!! Mitt Rom-a-nay!!!
- Stephen: Okay, so you are leaning Romney at this point, what is it about his message – and again, what is it about him that appeals to you?
- Nell: Obarma. Baracka Obarma.
- SC: Did you say Obama? Are you ready for four more years?
- Nell: I’m like-a-lay. Like-a-laayyyyy.
- SC: I’m aware of that, you are a likely voter. We’ve established that much. But which candidate are you likely to vote for?
- SC: Santorum is not in the race anymore!! Just make up your mind. C’mon! Is it Romney or Obama?
- Nell: Roma bama nay! Roma bama barama nay!
