Stephen Colbert calls Donald Trump a liar — over and over and over again

Stephen Colbert may have offered the definitive takedown Monday night of Donald Trump's effort to rewrite history on the whole birther saga.

In a more than 10-minute segment, Colbert repeatedly called Trump a liar without directly saying so, using clips of Trump himself saying "liar" and "world-class liar" and talking in exasperated tones about Trump's bogus birtherism claims in a Friday news conference.
***
Colbert concluded: "You don’t get to flog this issue for five years and then act like you’re correcting everybody else. We’re not crazy. We were there. We all saw you do it. Even the people who support you saw you do it. It’s why they support you.”

I've been a little disappointed he's lost a lot of his edge, but that segment last night was SWEET!

Apparently they own copyrights (or whatever it is in show biz) on the images and props from his time there.

So yes, last night was sweet.
