Inspired By Romney’s Misspelled iPhone App, Colbert Sings ‘Amercia The Beautiful’

Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert on Wednesday said Mitt Romney’s misspelled iPhone app isn’t a problem, it’s a “brilliant strategy.” The app, which allows users to inset pro-Mitt photo frames on cell phone pictures, features a misspelled “A Better Amercia” frame.

“Now Mitt Romney can become the president of America or Amercia,” Colbert said. “He’s just doubled the odds.” And it’s sure to please Donald Trump and his reinvigorated birther pals. “There is no proof (Obama) was born in Amercia,” Colbert said.

To declare that he’s “with Mitt,” Colbert sang a rousing rendition of “Amercia the Beautiful.”
