the colbert report out-dailyshow's the daily show with this hilarious/fascinating retrospective of bush and the press. i didn't even KNOW about most of these clips! what a personality this president has!

kate beaton makes my favorite thing

and of course, h/t to the lovely jen for finding this lollercoaster.

best daily show bit in a while

john oliver takes on CNN's magic election screen.

blunder-scale

thank god for jason sudeikis—he's all SNL's really got, now that mccain and palin are out of the picture. i mean i love fred armisen with all my heart, but even he knows that he can't do a good obama.



i look forward to bits like this, and to actual real-life joe biden mistakes!

wait WHUUUUT?

can someone tell me the backstory behind this photo?:



in light of this?

am i missing something here?


UPDATE:

apparently, some primary-school kids in northern ireland gave it to him as a gag, and it was, indeed, a reference to everyone's favorite zoo-based sketch comedy series. i have a feeling that the president didn't get the joke.
