The “Colbert Report” host rips Ralph Reed, who recently lost the Georgia Lt. Gov. race. When a wave of mock sympathy ran through the audience over Reed’s demise, Colbert said, “Send [Reed] your strength. He’s like Tinkerbell.”

Colbert went on to say that the disgraced Reed is only the gateway to a wider world of moral hypocrisy, and lampooned other politicians who have managed to find themselves mired in scandal despite perfect ratings from Reed’s Christian Coalition. And Colbert didn’t have time to name all the candidates “fighting for our Christian values,” but a sign on-screen assured us “The indictments probably will.”
