Good evening from the Nation's Capital and welcome to tonight's edition of the The Daily Show/Colbert Report chat thread. Our regular host, TiaRachel is taking her vacation while the boys do the same.
Instead Comedy Central has Chris Rock and Lisa Lampanelli will be on at 11:30. Dear lurker person: The least you could have done is leave us with the Jim Cramer interview.
Everyone is welcome to jump in and join us. Turn on the tee vee and tune into to Comedy Central...Or don't. There's always plenty of discussions that have absolutely nothing to do with the shows. We once went through one re-run diary without even mentioning the show.
If you are really jonesing for a Daily Show fix, check out the website for a dose of "Ask a Correspondent." Or check out the way-back randomizer. Here is the clip of the old man who got shot in the face by the thankfully former Vice President apologized for getting in the way of the bullets. Stephen fans can reminisce about this classic clip when he stuck it to W. and friends at the White House Correspondent's dinner in '06.
We also had hawt secks talk from an ultra-conservative state Rep from California. He was "in bed" so to speak with some lobbyists. Don't they know we're taping this? (Note: Eyepatch underwear not included.) Once again, political gold goes unmined while the boys are at recess.
One other thing. Last night was Rachel Maddow's one year anniversary on MSNBC. I remember DKos pushing for her to get her own show. Good job, you DHFs.
I got nothin' else...
Oh, wait. Didn't some fellow talk to a bunch of important people in that big domey thingy downtown? We could talk about that, too, I guess. I've been hosting the LiveBlog over on Congress Matters. You should stop by sometime.
Pre-publish update:
you lie! -- Rep. Joe Wilson Republican of South Carolina to President Obama
FAIL!
Here is the ACT Blue page for Wilson's opponent, Rob Miller. As of 10:40 p.m.,
The group "Defeating the man who yelled liar at Obama: Goodbye Rep Joe Wilson by Kossacks for Democrat Rob Miller" had raised $4,874.12. You all rawk!
Also, these guys are pretty cool: RT @ProgressiveElecmatching first $250 donating on our page - http://www.actblue.com/... to Rob MIller running against Joe "It's a Lie" Wilson
note: this is what I get for originally writing this last night.
Here's a poll. I wanted to use this one the last time I hosted, but Ted Kennedy (or as I once called him, "Ten Kennedy") so it seemed a bit inappropriate.
