As you read the following quotes and find yourself saying, "Wait— huh?" throughout, you won't be alone.

I did the same thing the first time I read through a Tuesday night conversation between Hollywood A-lister George Clooney and late-night clown Stephen Colbert about the critical need for the Fourth Estate (the news media) to "stand on the right side of history." You know, to make sure "the people" hear the truth. Please.

Let's just say the sheer hypocrisy, blinded by the dark light of leftism, was off the charts, as was the smugness.

Anyway, Clooney trotted over to CBS ratings failure "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" to plug his stage adaptation of his 2005 movie "Good Night, and Good Luck," about journalist Edward R. Murrow and McCarthyism. As you might imagine, the conversation immediately turned to today's politics and the Devil incarnate, you-know-who.

Yes, ever-evil President Donald Trump and his equally evil administration were front and center throughout the ridiculous conversation. Colbert kicked off the festivities by recalling how he first came up with the "Gulf of America" idea on his old satirical show, "The Colbert Report."

Trump steals all of my ideas and you better lawyer up, mother[bleep], because I'm coming for you.

The ever-brilliant Clooney brushed off Colbert's silly attempt at humor, choosing instead to show the audience what a deep thinker he truly (thinks he) is about the sinister world of Trumpism (emphasis, mine).

I’m not sure you’re going to need lawyers. I think you’re going to need more than that.

We have had this issue where power, kind of, hates the fourth estate. They hate journalism and my father’s an anchorman and news man and we've always believed in the idea of when the other three estates: the judiciary branch and the executive branch, when they all fail you, you need that fourth estate, right, it has to be the people who can hold people to accounts and this is a moment of us at our best and I always like to show and I like the idea of seeing ourselves at our best and I think that’s an exciting thing to do.

Hoo boy, that's a lot to unpack (as those who like to say "a lot to unpack" think sounds smart.)

"They" consists of conservatives, of course, about whom Clooney and his equally-out-of touch ilk can't for the life of them understand why we distrust the TDS-riddled media and how they twist actual news into pathetic attacks on conservative priorities and deride America's 47th president as Hitler-esque and an oligarch wannabe, all the while attempting to prop up hollow frauds like former Vice President Kamala Harris and cognitively-vacant, serial-lying former President Joe Biden.

And we haven't touched on how the lapdog media promotes the sicknesses of DEI and "gender-affirming care" (irreversible mutilation of children's bodies, including mastectomies and castration).

Anyway, Colbert echoed Clooney's faux-intellectual nonsense, drawing a parallel between McCarthyism and the Age of Trump.

Well, sometimes you are at your best when it is a very dark time because that is when you have to be your best and this was the height of McCarthyism.

Clooney offered a final "deep" thought.

Yeah, but it’s really true, it's those whole ideas of, you know, being on the right side of history is not fun at the moment when you do it. It’s nice later when you can look back later and go “Wow, I was really,” you know and he could do that later.

Wait— huh? See what I mean?
