Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, Thursday night, of White House doctor and VA director ex-nominee Dr. Ronny Jackson:
"Today we learned that his on-the-job alcohol use was so routine that there was a standing order to leave rum and Diet Coke in Dr. Jackson's hotel room on official travel. Oh, he's not just drinking — he's freshman-spring-break-in-Cancun-drinking.”
