Would it kill liberals to actually bother to figure out what they’re talking about before they spout off? Evidently yes.

As Twitchy told you, Betsy DeVos’ confirmation has celebrities in full-blown freakout mode. Fortunately, they’ve got someone like Stephen Colbert to articulate their outrage in a thoughtful, intelligent way:

Elementary math under Betsy Devos
Q: Ned and Sheryl each have 4 apples. Who has more apples?
A: Whomever Mike Pence decides has more apples.

What is so difficult about understanding how the Constitution works? Suppose if Chuck Schumer — an actual politician — can’t be bothered to understand it, it’s silly to expect Colbert to make an effort. But still.

If ignorance is bliss, let’s just say that Stephen is very, very blissful.
