"Is that a toy turtle in your pocket or are you just really bad at running for president?": Colbert asks Jeb

Colbert pokes fun at Jeb for giving 13-year-old-boy a tiny toy turtle which he apparently keeps in his pocket

Stephen Colbert reminded us on Friday night's "Late Show" that the Iowa Caucuses are just three short weeks away. But the Jeb Bush countdown might take a little longer. He's still isn't giving up. While campaigning in New Hampshire this week, Bush gave a 13-year-old-boy a tiny toy turtle which he apparently keeps in his pocket.

“I’m not a grievance candidate,” he told a room of fans in Longwood, Florida earlier in the week. “I’m the tortoise in the race — but I’m a joyful tortoise.”

"I think we all know who the hare is," Colbert said flashing a photo of Donald Trump and his coif. It turns out Bush has a little baby Jesus, rosary beads and a pocket full of turtles. "Huh? You've got the baby Jesus in your pocket? Are you using your pants as a Nativity scene, sir? Are those the three wise turtles?" Colbert asked confused.
