Stephen Colbert shares Fox News’ pre-disappointment in Obama speech

President Barack Obama addressed the country on Wednesday night to outline his plan to defeat the threat posed by the Islamic State group in the Middle East. Stephen Colbert didn’t get a chance to see Obama’s speech before he taped his Wednesday show, but he still took time to comment on it, sight unseen.

“I tape my show at 7 o’clock, folks,” Colbert said. “So I have no idea what he said tonight. All I know is that I completely agree with what [Fox News’] Andrea Tantaros said at 5 o’clock, four hours before president’s speech.”

Obviously, a super-conservative like Colbert’s character would find a way to dislike the speech no matter what the content actually was. But what did Tantaros, co-host of “The Five,” have to say about the speech?

“I’m very deeply troubled by what he will say,” she said.

“I couldn’t have agreed more,” Colbert responded. “Because I also haven’t seen it and I’m furious about what I think it will be.”

The curious will need to tune in to Colbert and Tantaros now that the speech has actually been delivered to see their outrage delivered at full-boil.
