That was one hell of a roast! Bush Jr looked none too happy throughout, and I’m sure Laura said “f- you” to Colbert when he went to shake her hand.

Christie is trying to make up for sending Jared Kushner’s father to jail.

Cannabalism is the ultimate act of dominance.

...and then Donald told me that he asked Sarah Palin if she wanted to be Ambassador to Canada, and she said ‘Where in Europe is that?’
