Stephen Colbert joined the chorus of Republican pundits baffled by polls showing that single women (crossing the borders from 'Vagistan') and minorities turned out in droves for Barack Obama. "Last night's election wasn't decided by real Americans," Colbert said on Wednesday night's episode of "The Colbert Report," "traditional America is no more."

"No more trick-or-treating, no more homecoming, when someone sneezes, you have to say, 'happy holidays,'" the host said.

Colbert referred to clips of Fox News host Bill O'Reilly explaining how the Republicans base of white men, the "white establishment," could no longer be counted on to win elections.

Bill O'Reilly is right. The white establishment, guys like us, we're the minority now. We're helpless against this tide of non-white people who want 'stuff' and 'things.' ... Traditional white people -- of any race -- we don't want things, we have things.
