Esquire: "Stephen Colbert Had Some Fun With Hillary Clinton's Pathetic New Youth Initiative"

After an ode to Presidents Day, Stephen Colbert dove into the gladiatorial mudpit that is the 2016 election. He touched on Hillary Clinton's crushing New Hampshire defeat to Bernie Sanders, a rout fueled in part by young voters breaking Bernie's way 83-16. It's a setback, especially because the only group Clinton won was voters over 65, and even young women went for Sanders by big margins. But luckily, Clinton's crack team of campaign strategists has the answer:

"Her team is nimble," Colbert said. "They sprung into action, and they reached out immediately with an ad on the youth-friendly social network, America Online."

It's perfect: a candidate struggling with The Youth completely whiffing on medium she chose to try to reach The Youth. Colbert couldn't resist:

"I can't wait to see how they appeal to the youths next. Maybe hand out some leaflets at bingo night, or team up with Netflix to sponsor a Murder She Wrote reunion."

Other options we'd suggest: sponsoring an episode of Antiques Roadshow, or inviting Steely Dan on tour with her.

That was so good. On locking down the +65yr old demographic, "She may not have won New Hampshire but she sure won Old Hampshire."

Thanks, Atty. A dose of Stephen Colbert is like a shot of comedic B-12.

3. I remember when AOL and Compuserve were the only choices.

I'm in my mid-30's and think it's hilarious especially since my mom still uses AOL, I think it's a comfort thing. This being said, she surfs the internet. Dad and I left AOL as soon as we went to DSL over a decade ago and never looked back.
Then again I remember a store called "Computer Garage" that was almost a hole in the wall and sold motherboards. I miss it when computer stores use to be like that instead of Big Box stores. Sure it was a bit dingy but it felt like someone's home. It had a charm to it.
