Herman-love is blind.

For the record, I condemn Bill Clinton. Roundly.

show me your internutz searching skillz are better than mine - i recall recently reading/hearing a study that showed the very opposite, but didn't find it in the 30 seconds i allowed myself to look for it okay fine, "john stewart viewers more informed" is google-worthy - seems the topic has been kicked about plenty impartial take on the subject? I'll look around for the "primary news source" bit. At any rate, if Daily Show watchers are more informed in general it doesn't necessarily mean they're more informed from watching the show. At best, this study found the Daily Show isn't really any worse (or better) in terms of substantive content than other news shows within the infotainment complex. Not exactly a ringing endorsement given the current media landscape. On a different note, it's my sneaking suspicion that despite their liberal orientation, these ratings-driven "news" shows have done as much as Fox to enable the kind of train-wreck gawking celebrity politics we see now. Laugh it up, but not too hard.

Not if that's all you eat all day.

hell, plenty of john stewart n' bill maher fans are having a good laugh about it NOW ... Yeah, I'm not a big fan, but more 'cause it's been shown that these shows constitute the primary news source for a disturbingly large number of liberals. That ain't good.

They've been saying irony is dead for a while now, but satire too? It's my sincere hope that we'll be able to look back at this period in history and have a good laugh.

He'll be a fixture on Fox News, that GOP nursing home for retired clowns, in no time. Or doing stints on the sexual addiction treatment circuit.

Striving to be the Keith Richards of the Solar System!

Diver Down is without a doubt the best rock album of the last four hundred years.

We're just going to have to pollute our way out of this thing, right Jay?

Herman Cain was never supposed to "take off". Leave it to the idiocracy of the GOP base to turn him into a legitimate contender. "9-9-9!!" Yes, we're now living in a spoof of our own society.

Is this something that people even think about anymore?

Personally, I got my money on Niggerhead.

You wish.

Douche.

Needs more Donald Trump.

Without Cain, this movie's going to get dull fast. AMUSE ME!!!

Grab some popcorn, the wheels are really coming off.

Encouraging.

I wholeheartedly agree with this post. Thanks, Rob. It's getting hot in here!

The silver lining to this whole episode is that it's given me an opportunity to reacquaint myself with the work of Ann Coulter.

I find these sexual harassment allegations a real shame, they're drawing attention away from how truly and profoundly dumb his ideas are.

He's a simplifier.

Not only can Sarah Palin see Russia from her house, Herman Cain suggests they may be trying to acquire nuclear capability.
