If you follow the news, he began, you know that Benghazi has been blowing up again because of a scandalous new memo linking the Obama Administration directly to things said by members of the Obama Administration.
Fox Newss The Fives Eric Bolling, Colbert continued, has an iron-clad explanation for why they did whatever it is were accusing them of having done after the Benghazi attack.
He then cuts to Bolling, who is saying that theres one more piece to this. Dont forget that [Benghazi] was prior prior to Osama bin Laden being taken down, and the thought was, the discussion was, Is President Obama, going into the reelection, soft on terror or not?
Bolling then interrupts himself, as an off-screen producers informs him of something: What, it was after?
Yes, much after, Dana Perino can be heard saying.
My bad, Bolling said, I take it back.
But a great point, if it were true, Perino added.
Yes, Colbert replied, thats undeniable. A great point, and a fantastic new motto: Fox News: Fair and Balanced. A Great Point If It Were True.
He then wagged his finger at Dana Perino for informing Bolling that he was wrong. He was pulling a passionate, heart-felt conspiracy theory straight out of his ass.

HENRY: You know, going back to September 2001, the president said, dead or alive, were going to get him. Still dont have him. I know you are saying theres successes on the war on terror, and there have been. Thats a failure.
TOWNSEND: Well, Im not sure its a success that hasnt occurred yet. I dont know that I view that as a failure.
