Stephen Colbert took a shot at the Republican debates after watching them cheering for allowing the uninsured to drop dead and Rick Perry's record number of executions:

Nation these debates are supposed to help us find the Republican presidential candidate, but they have already helped them find his running mate: the Grim Reaper. That's right, the Angel of Death. Clearly he is popular with the GOP base this year. He's got all the qualifications they're looking for. He's old and bone white, he's packing a weapon, he's got an incredible war record, and believe me, no one wants to get rid of Obama-care more than this guy. Plus, he is a close second to Rick Perry in executions.
