Comedian Stephen Colbert poked fun at President Biden's cognitive health and ability to serve as president with a parody Dr. Seuss book, asking, "Is he mentally fit? Can he serve a whole term?"

Amidst growing concerns about President Biden's cognitive health and ability to serve as president, late-night hosts have seized the opportunity to satirize the situation. Among them is Stephen Colbert, a former staunch Biden ally who has recently taken a more critical stance.

Colbert opened his Tuesday monologue on "The Late Show" by lampooning Biden's performance in the recent presidential debate, comparing it to that of Abraham Lincoln, "if you dug him up right now." He went on to roast Biden's shaky demeanor and frequent gaffes.

On Wednesday, Colbert unveiled a mock Dr. Seuss book titled "Oh The Places For Joe!", posing the question, "Is he mentally fit?" The book, a parody of the classic "Oh, the Places You'll Go!", featured Colbert reading out passages that poked fun at Biden's age and cognitive lapses.

"Can he serve a whole term?" Colbert read. "Can he beat RFK with his brain full of worm? Just ask him, just ask him, the man loves to talk, as long as you ask him before eight o'clock."

Colbert's satire reflects the growing skepticism surrounding Biden's ability to handle the rigors of the presidency. The president has faced scrutiny for his frequent verbal stumbles, confusion, and memory lapses, raising concerns about his mental sharpness.

Other late-night hosts have also expressed reservations about Biden's cognitive decline. Seth Meyers, host of NBC's "Late Night," scolded Biden for not taking the threat of a second Trump term seriously enough. He argued that Biden's casual approach to the election results demonstrated a lack of understanding of the potential consequences of a Trump victory.

Jon Stewart, back on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," has been particularly critical of Biden in recent weeks. He has accused the president and his administration of "blatant bulls---" regarding the debate performance and called out Biden's inability to articulate his thoughts and words as "stunning."

Jimmy Fallon, host of NBC's "The Tonight Show," has repeatedly poked fun at Biden's age and declining health. He has joked about the need to "check in on the elderly" and compared Biden's campaign office to the chaotic kitchen in the TV series "The Bear."

The late-night hosts' mockery of Biden highlights the growing scrutiny surrounding his cognitive fitness. While Colbert and others may have been more favorable towards Biden in the past, they are now openly questioning his ability to lead the country. The persistent concerns and satirical jabs serve as a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in the highest office in the land.
