they are married?! they could have funny kids.

Samantha Bee cracked my shit up last night "I would like to apologize to our daughter. Er...I think she is our daughter. Definitely mine."

Loved this last night! So spot on, especially Jason Jones in the requiste baby-blue blazer and pearls.

BTW, did anyone see Jim Cramer practically cry on the Today show this morning about the Spitzer thing? It was intense.

I missed this last night because I was so tired, but god I love Sam Bee. And her husband. Together they're like an 18-diamond whore.

Can't watch it now, alas. But the screenshot is still making me love them.

lewis black was pretty great last night too:

"$4,300??? For that price you can buy a used Honda and fuck THAT."

@kshenkshen: she's pregnant with their second right now.

@kshenkshen: They already have one, and she's preggers with numero dos.

I am in love with Jon Stewart. It has to be said.

the daily show has got to be the most incestuous show ever.

@onthecornerofparkerandwoolf: That was without a question the quote of the night. I died.

Jeanine Pirro (sp?) who almost ran against HRC for the Senate but then had to bow out because she was getting Bernard Kerik to secretly bug her husband's yacht?

Also: Grover Norquist.

Grover Norquist, you'd better pray I don't ever meet you in person, is all I can say. I will kick you in your god-damn neck.

@hfree: yeah, i didn't get that at all. normally he annoys me (i suspect he's on stimulants of some sort most of the time) but i felt super bad for him. it was pretty clear they only brought him on to talk about spitzer-- it was like "hey, yeah, the market went up today. let's talk about your friends." i'm sure he knew it was coming, but still. uncalled for, IMO.

Jason Jones is taken??? Now I have to re-arrange a few fantasies. He was my imaginary boyfriend!

I just rewatched this on Comedy Central. This is the second day in a row shes had big hilarious bits.

"Hold my hand, I need you more than ever ASSHOLE"

Oh I loved it the other night when she was the only political commentator at the desk because there's "some whore thing in Albany" or whatever she said. Classic.

@onthecornerofparkerandwoolf: Lewis is my man!

Jason Jones face is so perfect all the way through this. Who knew he could act?

I love this show.

@BinderClip: No, they keep Al away from the cameras at all costs. Dude's beyond a liability. There's a Law and Order episode that uses the Pirros as an inspiration and it's spot on.

Samantha Bee is the greatest. I loved it when she hit on the guy when she was like 8 months pregnant.

I don't think Samantha Bee would begrudge me saying that Jason Jones has never looked hotter than he does in that outfit. I adore these two.

I had no idea they were married! Oh cuteness! Their baby's godfather should be Jon Stewart.

Ohhhhhh I cant recall the name - but their was a Senator or Governor a few years back from some state (maybe Georgia?) who was female and had an affair and it was a big scandal. I think her husband was sticking with her at the time?

I am no help. Sorry.

@lolacat: You will have to switch to Rob Riggle, now. I'm sorry.

She wasn't involved in prostitution, but the former Attorney General of Wisconsin had her husband next to her at her "I'm sorry I got arrested for drunk driving while using a State-owned car" press conference. She didn't resign, either.

I think I am in love with Lewis Black...not in a sex way, but in a mind way.

Samantha Bee is even funnier pregnant. That bambino must be beaming some funny vibes.

@lalaland: it took me a minute, but your 18 diamond whore comment warmed the cockles of my heart. Fuck yeah.

Seriously, WTF is up with making your poor spouse stand up there and eat shit with you? I mean, it's not like showing family solidarity at this point is going to save your ass as a politician? I'm pretty sure being exposed as having had unprotected sex with pros or a gay affair or what have you is pretty much a dealbreaker as far as any future political aspirations goes.

Jason looks so pretty in pearls

@JessicaLovejoy: Backstairsly:
No dear, I'm afraid he's mine. Just this morning I was wondering if I was the only one out there that found him sexy.

Former IL Senator Carol Mosley Braun had stood in shame for wrongdoing, but not after denying it for some time. Couldn't find video, but for those who can't remember, here's the recap:
[www.slate.com]

@braak: i heart rob riggle. the other night he interviewed the people protesting the marine recruiting center in berkeley (he's a former marine, FYI)

Woman on the street: It's about free speech, you know?
Rob Riggle: Yeah, wouldn't it be great if there was an organization sworn to, you know, protect free speech? at all costs?
Woman: yeah, that would be great!
Rob Riggle: [stare of death]

it cracked me up.

@kshenkshen: They have an adorable daughter (I know, I know, who gives a shit? Its about the comedy...she's fucking adorable)....and I know b/c Samantha used her in a skit, as did Jason, when the wee one was less than a year old.

Damn, if only I could find a link to both. I think Jason's (hilarious) was after Katrina--he wanted to show he was sensitive like Anderson Cooper so he brought his daughter on.

And yes yesterday was funny too.

Jesus I love Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

@kshenkshen: Their first kid's name is Piper Bee-Jones (according to Wikipedia), which might just be the cutest name I've ever heard. Then again, they could call her Gargamel Bee-Jones and it would still sound adorable -- the cuteness factor gets upped pretty easily with a surname like "Bee."

@TheUptightMidwesterner: That new show looks hilarious--Lewis Black and stand-up comics debating each other, a la CrossFire (Tucker Carlson's OTHER, more recent show got canceled as well...)?

Looking forward to it, very much so

@onthecornerofparkerandwoolf: In the defense of the Code Pink idiots, I've met a lot of people in the Armed Forces who sometimes seem to forget that their number one loyalty is to uphold the Constitution.

Not that anyone needs to defend those Code Pink women, because really, they seem like kind of nutjobs.

@Stumbelina: Listen, I'm willing to share. There's plenty of jewy jewness to go around.

(Although someone should probably tell him there's now a waiting list to get into his "lab.")

@braak: it really pissed me off that i share a fucking vagina with those people.
i mean, not MY vagina, i dont share that one with people like that, just you know, the having of it.

@braak: i sincerely hope that that man was born in a pre-sesame street era. because anyone who names their child "grover" now is ASKING for therapy bills. it's like naming your child pikachu.

@BinderClip: Jeannie Pirro's hubby still embarrased her plenty. There was a pretty good NYMag story about that marriage. The Republican party pushed her out of the Senate race before that happened, she was running against Cuomo for AG when the love boat bug was news.

@hugnkiss:

Piper Bee-Jones!! squeeee. THAT is fucking adorable.

I'm still waiting for Bill to stand behind Hillary. I'll bet you a million dollars she's got an affectionate peck she's waiting to pull out when things get desperate, a la crying New Hampshire. Hillary kissing Bill? WHOA

I think I can officially stop commenting on the other thread on this topic because Samantha Bee has said it all. Perfect.

That whole bit was spot on and f-ing brilliant. I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe.

Only way that could have been better is if Jon Stewart had stepped forward as the gigelo/baby daddy of Samantha Bee's baby.

@ineffable.me: Well, it's important that you made that clarification. I had always assumed that, much like the ancient Greek Graeae and their single eye, all members of Code Pink had a single vagina that they shared and used collectively.

@titania1285: It is extremely difficult to take someone seriously whose name is Grover.

@braak: they probably do. did you see them making out? EWWWWWW

In light of a Duggar-populated future, it gives me hope that Daily Show people are having children together.

I hearted Jon Stewart for many, many years. It will, however, be a long time before I can forgive him for how he dealt with the writers' strike. We broke up after he became a scab. I'm still grieving the end of our relationship, and it only hurts more to be reminded of his charms. Argh, Jon Stewart, how do I get over you and your beguiling Daily Show?!
