"You Don't Know Dick": First of all, I hope I never hear the phrase "Dick nugget" ever again. Secondly, Dick Cheney's lair is nothing but a pixelated mess in Google Earth. Maybe it's the sleep deprivation, but I laughed a little too hard at the "very low-resolution spider" joke. I want pixelation powers.

"Clusterfuck to the White House": A member of Rudy Giuliani's campaign team had some cocaine problems, so the cocaine problem guy had his "NAACP equals National Association of Retarded People" daddy take his place. Speaking of inhaling stuff, Former EPA Administrator Christie Todd Whitman says she's not responsible for allowing people to work among the Ground Zero asbestos. I really wish some of the big news networks would start using old news clips the way The Daily Show does. It's depressingly effective.

"Back in Black": It hasn't been very long since we last saw Lewis Black, so I was surprised to see him back so soon. He talked about the conservatives' efforts to throw a little right-wing love on the Internet. Check out Conservapedia and QubeTV and have a giggle. No, wait! Actually, if you want a giggle, check out the dramatic chipmunk (which is actually a prairie dog, I think). I've seen that video approximately five thousand times and yet I still laughed when I saw it on TV. Speaking of giggles (or lack thereof), I think this was the first time that anyone on The Daily Show has mentioned The Half Hour News Hour. I actually tried watching it once, fully prepared to accept it and laugh (honest!). Nothing.

The night's guest was Sicko's Michael Moore. I was actually kind of hoping that he didn't show up, not because I hate Moore, but because I was curious to see what The Daily Show would have to do to cover the time. I remember way, way back in the day, Al Sharpton failed to make it to an interview and then-correspondent Stephen Colbert had to step in and take a spot on the couch. And look, I actually managed to find video of it! Yeah, that's right. I don't need no stinkin' YouTube. Anyway, Michael Moore did show up and he talked about the tragic humor of his film and how Larry King bumped his interview for Paris Hilton.

Did Michael Moore take up too much time? The goodbye was incredibly rushed. Moment of Zen: From what I could tell from that split second of video, Larry King was jamming with Paul McCartney and George Harrison... or Ringo Starr. It doesn't really matter. Larry can't tell.
