Colbert on Bloomberg Funding Effort To Let Felons Vote: ‘Making It Rain Democracy’

RUSH EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “Enter former New York Mayor, and lawn gnome whose hat was just taken by a squirrel, Mike Bloomberg. Bloomberg helped raise more than $20 million so that felons who completed their prison sentences can vote in the presidential election, thereby re-enfranchising about 31,000 people. Hell yeah, we’ve got a rich guy on our side! He’s making it rain democracy! Check his couch cushions— maybe we can bail out the post office! Bloomberg didn’t do it alone. Other donors included, John Legend, Michael Jordan, and Lebron James.”
