Colbert’s last words were true to his character: “I’m getting angry at liberals.”

The final episode of The Colbert Report aired Thursday night. "If you remember when this show began I promised you a revolution and I delivered," he said.

He continued, because "technically a revolution is 360 degrees right back to where we were." Colbert went on to list several world events — troops in Iraq, a possible Bush presidential candidacy (Jeb) — that resembled what was happening when the show began.
