Colbert: The Senate Doesn’t Care What Abused Women Have To Say About Supreme Court Nominees

‘I wouldn’t trust these geezers to investigate a restaurant menu’

RUSH EXCERPT:

COLBERT: "But Grassley wants to assure her that someone’s on the case, writing, “I certainly understand and respect Dr. Ford’s desire for an investigation of her allegations. That is precisely what the Senate is doing.” Okay, but have you seen who’s on the Senate Judiciary Committee? I wouldn’t trust these geezers to investigate a restaurant menu. “I would like a scoop of chicken salad served in half a cantaloupe.” “Sir, you’re speaking into a mailbox.” “Okay, tuna salad on a pineapple.” Grassley says it’s not appropriate for the F.B.I. to investigate, and he’s insisting Blasey-Ford must testify on Monday and has set 10:00 A.M. Friday as the deadline to hear back from her. Obviously, the U.S. Senate’s known for two things: Moving at lightning speed and not caring what abused women have to say about Supreme Court nominees."
