When I read that Rick Santorum compared the Iraq war to "Lord of the Rings," my immediate thought was "EEEE!!!! HOW WILL STEPHEN COLBERT RESPOND????"

Stephen did not disappoint. Plus, he had action figures. I love it when he gets all fanboyish, and I'm not even a LotR fan. ::adores:: If you're not watching The Colbert Report, seriously, you're missing the best thing on television.

Also, John Ashcroft made my skin crawl on The Daily Show last night. Did he seriously just compare the volume of music in the studio to the torture of human beings? Notice he didn't respond to a single thing Jon said, but instead made up and tore down ridiculous straw man arguments in response. I do have respect for Jon Stewart for actual trying to deal with this creep on a human level, but, y'know, ick.

South Park was good last night. All the episodes of this season so far have been great, actually.

It does kind of weird me out that the only shows I'm watching regularly are comedies.

If you recall what Ashcroft said about the noise level, it sounded like he was going to say that it made him want to confess to something he didn't do. He cut himself off, but I think that's where he was going. Good ol' torture - so effective. I really wish he'd finished the sentence.

Not to mention where A said that it didn't matter that the gov was not telling the truth as there were plenty of news channels willing to tell the bad news. WTF?

You're right though - The worst ever was A saying the thing about them yelling at detainees and playing loud music was the worst that they did. EVIL.

When they went to commercial after the Seat Of Heat, I looked at the rockgod and said, "I've never heard anyone dissemble as well as the Republicans do. He didn't answer a single question."

The action figures on Colbert's show were hilarious.
