With the house turning over to the Democrats, the “Father” of our nation has to pony up to his father and a disapproving nation. In his Conservative news brief, Colbert discusses the Newsweek cover that our politically aware public couldn’t possibly ignore.

The first issue to hit the stands since the results of last week’s midterm election, the recent Newsweek cover depicts the presidential father-son pair with Bush senior as the dominating figure.

Though many bloggers and news publications have taken note of what this photo implies, Colbert brilliantly interjects subtle sarcasm-- via an imposing text box-- in his segment "The Word."

Watch as Colbert debates which “Father Knows Best”.
