"Indecision 2006"/"Diss Ingenuous": Virginia's George Allen threw the word "Macaca" (sounds like nonsense, but apparently, it's a genus of monkey) while shouting at an Indian supporter of his opponent. Bad move, man. Bad move. Correspondent Rob Corddry elaborated on the situation. Rob claimed that he is actually from Macaca, prompting Jon to ask where Macaca was. "Where is Macaca? Right next to Yapeepee!" Haha, I loved Rob's little celebratory dance. When he mentioned that he only has about a week and a half left on the show, it was kind of a downer. Sigh. I'm going to miss Rob.Senior Terror Analyst John Oliver joined in to speak a little about the recent defeat of Joe Lieberman (insert clever remark about "Joe-mentum" here) and Ned Lamont's victory rally. Chockfull of terrorists! He then explained the self-esteem issues of terrorists and how they're prone to suicide. His pantomimed deaths were quite amusing. This was the first time that we've seen Oliver not doing an "on-location"/green screen report. As he sat in profile, I couldn't help but notice that his nose is huge! I found myself trying to compare his schnoz to Jon's. Conclusion: John's is totally bigger.
Dan Bakkedahl filed a report about the pimp tax, and, of course, he found a real pimp to interview (specifically, The Arch Bishop Don Magic Juan). The best part was either the Julia Roberts cycle or Bakkedahl's attempt at a pimp walk.
The night's guest was motherfuckin' Samuel L. Jackson from Snakes On A Plane, motherfucker. I'm not as interested in the film as much as the fact that most people feel the need to excessively use "motherfuck" while discussing Jackson or SOAP. Anyway, Samuel L. Jackson proved to be, as always, a great crowd-pleaser. There is something about that guy that just drives everyone crazy. It's so bizarre. A few things to note from this interview... Jackson had on really snazzy shoes, Ferrets On A Panel Truck sounded pretty bad-ass, and the SOAP people actually snuck into the blogosphere to push the hype along. Oh, and one more thing: I've had it with these motherfuckin' snakes on this motherfuckin' plane!
Jon/Stephen: Stephen Colbert will report on the sun's inevitable transformation into an astral monster in a couple billion years, but, in the mean-time, let's talk novelty lunchboxes. Moment of Zen: Cheney loves his Bush.

Not just a genus of monkey. It's actually a racial slur: http://jeffrey-feldman.typepad.com/frameshop/2006/08/frameshop_macac.html

Actually his comment was a very clever joke in Hindi, which proves George Allen is not as stupid as he pretends to be:
