"Rice & Ripken: Together at... Why!?": With Karl Rove out of the way, it seems like the original Bush dream team is crumbling apart. Condolleeza Rice dragged someone else into the fun, introducing Cal Ripken, Jr. as a US public diplomacy special envoy. Apparently he's going to help build better relations in China by beating their asses in baseball."Clusterfuck to the White House: Divas Live": Several Democrats appeared on the super-gay super-channel Logo to talk about real important issues. Melissa Ethridge was there because, uh, I guess the situation isn't both gay and political if there isn't at least one famous, outspoken lesbian in attendance. The golf clips were really well-timed, especially the Bill Richardson one. Ohh, Richardson, he's a goofy one. As for Dennis Kucinich, the gays went ga-ga for him. It looks like Kucinich has finally found his new main demographic.
I hope that the Daily Show continues to make increasingly immature montages. Gay innuendos can never get old. It's just a fact.
"Children of the Corn": As for Republicans, they have been getting busy in Iowa, working the straw poll (yes, I still have immature gay innuendos in my head). There's something about Mitt Romney that I find slightly scary. It can't be just me.
The night's guest was Denis Leary, star of Rescue Me and obviously one of Jon's, like, total BFFs. How nice of them to show a Samantha Bee clip from Rescue Me! I was a bit sleepy and it took me a while before I realized that it was her. She sounded funny though. And Jesus flipping Christ, Denis Leary is 50? Just before they said that, I was going on IMDB to look up his age, because I knew he was around that age but he looked pretty young. For a guy who is notorious for smoking like a chimney and drinking like a fish, he sure has held up very well. 45 year-old Jon, with his salt-and-pepper hair, looked surprisingly old next to golden-haired Denis (no worries, Jon, your hair looks dashing and distinguished). Also, I quite liked watching these two buddies talk about Jewish people in baseball and getting old, so I didn't even care that they almost completely left out any talk about Rescue Me.
Jon/Stephen: Stephen Colbert has hired Karl Rove. Wow. Moment of Zen: Dennis Kucinich loves the idea of an equal sign inside of a heart. You should get that tattooed on your face, Kucinich. It'll give you a bit of an edge.

Did they get any talk in about "Rescue Me"? I was wondering if the topic of Jack McGee's departure from the show would have come up.....

Ripken couldn't beat China at baseball. But at least he could not beat them at it every single day for like 2 decades.
