Stephen Colbert on Monday gave Newt Gingrich a big tip of his hat for thinking up new ways to scare America.
Namely, the threat of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP): a nuclear device, detonated at a high altitude that would knock out all electronic devices in a huge area. That would lead to the “unthinkable,” Colbert said: “We would have to listen to those Amish bas***ds say ‘we told ye so.’”
But Newt’s not the only one afraid of an “EMP-mageddon.” So is James Bond. “Yes, Bond. James Bond agrees with Gingrich. Newt Gingrich. And just like Bond, Gingrich is calm under pressure, a little cocky and is frequently seen with different leading ladies.”
Gingrich’s lunar-oriented proposals sound a lot like the plots of “Moonraker” and “Die Another Day.” “It just occured to me,” Colbert said. “All of those schemes were from the villains!”
"Those were the days when we still associated Bond with suave, old school actors such as Sean Connery and Roger Moore,"
