Ann, that's a ferret.

I mean, it could never be as good as it's been the last 8 years, could it?

Maybe not as good. But as long as Michelle Bachman is in the House of Representatives, Jon Stewart will have material.

Trust my rage

loves amych

She is very foamy, isn't she? (I was just thinking the same thing but since I'd posted, like, 3 times in 5 minutes, I decided to let it go.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Cash - WTF???

So thoroughly wrong to share the Schadenfreude.

Indeed.

Unless it's really, REALLY funny.

Jon Stewart still has Biden, he's not as good as Palin, but he says the darnest things.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just read this interview with a Comedy Central writer (among others) about this very issue: Can We Laugh? Yes, We Can

Also, a Conan writer had this to say:

Q. In the immediate aftermath of the election, how do you make fun of a unifying moment like that?

A. In the short term, you certainly can do jokes in the great American tradition of kicking losers when they’re down. There’s this company that called us up and said: “You know what? We have 5,000 McCain dolls. We don’t want them. Do you?” They’re being delivered here, and we’re trying to think of creative ways to destroy them. Like maybe a Viking funeral on the Hudson River.

Rahm alone is comedy gold, so I don't think they'll be lacking in material.

Oh my. That is funny. Fox was all, "We didn't tell you the bad stuff about Palin because we didn't want to hurt her election chances. But now we can." And the loyal viewers are all, "Fuck you! You gave us this illusion she was OK; why can't you just keep lying to us?"
