On a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the host turned his attention to the firing of Pam Bondi, a departure that, if reports are to be believed, has a whole lot to do with her handling of the Epstein files. You know, the ones that have been released in a fashion best described as “Mad Libs, but make it national scandal.”
Colbert opened with what might be the most efficient takedown of the situation yet. “In tribute to Pam Bondi, I offer this heartfelt farewell,” he said, holding up a document redacted except for the following: “Dear Pam,” and “Sincerely, Stephen Colbert.”
It’s a joke works because it’s barely an exaggeration. And he didn’t stop there, “Saying that the villain of the Epstein files is Pam Bondi is like saying the lead in ‘Die Hard’ is the dad from ‘Family Matters.’”
Which brings us to the official line from Donald Trump, who announced Bondi would be “transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector.” Sure… but it did let Colbert bust out his Trump impersonation. “It’s a much-needed job at a very important farm upstate. There’ll be lots of room for her to run around. Unfortunately, we can’t go visit her,” he said. “Now let’s go to the strip mall and get you a new attorney general, buddy.”
