Back from his vacation, Stephen sends up Senator Jim “Creme” DeMint (R-SC) and his “Waterloo” meme.  DeMint articulated what became the Republican strategy to “break” Obama by defeating the administration’s effort to reform health care in July, 2009.

Now that the Democrats have successfully passed reform, DeMint has taken to pushing back the goal posts, telling Face the Nation‘s Bob Schieffer that the true test of the GOP’s cynical strategy will come with the results of the 2010 midterm elections.

Stephen, of course, has some fun with DeMint’s assessment:

Stephen Colbert sat down with Nell Irvin Painter to discuss her new book:  The History of White People.  Painter proves to be a good sport as Stephen, unable to see race, ponders why such a history would be necessary.

Though the interview imparts little about the book, if it even approaches the value of Painter’s grassroots history of the Progressive Era, Standing at Armageddon, it will be well worth reading.

This was Colbert’s second historian interview in as many days, having previously sat down with Eric Foner to discuss the Texas Board of Education’s recent revisionist effort.

Stephen sends up the Fox “News” Channel pundits for their idiotic equating of recent heavy snowfall with “proof” that climate change isn’t happening.

FNC really must hold their viewers in the lowest intellectual regard.
