Boy is Stephen Colbert elated.

His fellow one-percenter, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, finally kicked the Occupy protesters out of their Zuccotti Park headquarters, ending this nonsense once and for all.

“It’s been two months, we get it – income inequality, down with the 1%[…] enough, enough,” Colbert said on Tuesday.

Know what the problem was? These protests were unconstitutional.

“When a drum circle starts in Zuccotti Park, all other music in New York stops.”

Plus, the founders never intended to establish indefinite free speech.

“They assumed after two weeks any protest would be wiped out by small pox.”

Hear that ladies and gents? Your long national nightmare is over.

Here’s the clip:
