Before jumping into his big take of the night, John Oliver kicked off Last Week Tonight by having some fun with the recently unearthed love letters of arguably our all-time most worthless president, Warren G. Harding. And as Mr. Oliver quickly points out, when you dig in these you quickly discover they aren’t the whimsy-filled love letters of a philanderer the mainstream media is painting them out to be. Instead they’re “smutty f*ck notes” penned by a creepy old dude who named his dick.
“I’ll say this for Warren G. Harding, as a president he was terrible, but as an R&B lyricist he was way ahead of his time.” — John Oliver
