From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE…
Late Night Snark: Banjo on My Knee Edition
“Roy Moore may have lost last night’s election, but we’ll never forget all the people he touched.”
---Seth Meyers
“The women who came forward against Roy Moore...endured horrific treatment from everyone from their neighbors up to the President of the United States, and they had no idea if it would make a difference. Their bravery changed the world [Tuesday] night. I’m hoping they’re having a great day. Because thanks to them, Roy Moore sure isn’t.”
---Samantha Bee
“Last night wasn’t just a loss for Roy Moore, it was also a loss for all Republicans, especially former Trump adviser and laboratory-monkey-receiving-the-placebo-in-a-syphilis-trial Steve Bannon.”
---Stephen Colbert
“A Republican losing to a Democrat in Alabama is like a grizzly bear losing to a fish.”
---Jimmy Kimmel
“The women who saved us last night weren’t just black women---they were black women in Alabama. Do you know what they have to go through every day? Those women woke up yesterday and were like, ‘I gotta deal with systemic racism, the gender-pay gap, the school-to-prison pipeline, humidity, and y’all want me to save America? Oh, and on my way there I have to walk by eighteen confederate statues? [Sigh] All right.’”
---Late Night writer Amber Ruffin
And a 2013 holiday classic from The Daily Show…
Clip of Fox News host Megyn Kelly: For all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white. Jon Stewart: Santa is just white? Who are you actually talking to? Children who are sophisticated enough to be watching a news channel at 10 o'clock at night, yet innocent enough to still believe Santa Claus is real, yet racist enough to be freaked out if he isn’t white?"
