Colbert is attempting to not appear a hypocrite. It is difficult for him. But he had his lines written very carefully and he acted them well. Colbert is ALWAYS about Colbert. He is intensely interested in appearing superior.
Note that Clinton is never ever asked about all his abject rapes. Note that “brave” low ratings Colbert carefully asked about the most willing of Clinton’s famous victims. Monica WANTED TO GET A PRESIDENTIAL NOTCH ON HER BELT. She was a victim in the way it was handled, she might have first made the news by her “untimely suicide,” but she saved the semen-stained dress. But note that no one on the propaganda left dares ask Clinton to apologize to Juanita or Kathleen or any other rape victims. They ask him to apologize to the workplace inappropriate relationship that was mutual.
As if Clinton was “merely” a boss that fell prey to a hot little secretary flashing her thong panties at him once.
He has been a serial rapist, violent sexual predator, and at least post Presidency a pedophile. Colbert got to play “brave” and at the same time shield the image of Clinton from that thing all Clintons hate: the truth.
He turned Bill Clintons' treatment of women into a comedy gold.
Agreed, that was scripted.
Straight up.
Plus Colbert wins SuperMegaBonus points for bringing up this stuff in a relatively non-threatening environment. Mr. Clinton cannot go anywhere near a self-respecting news program without getting a rougher time about sexual harassment from the interviewer.
Younger female producers or on-air hosts will not give Bubba a pass on Lewinsky-ing.

Exactly, thanks for the excellent summation.
