"Clusterf@#k to the White House": Fred Thompson is Frankenberry and Barack Obama is Batman. FACT. Another good fact to note is that Rudy Giuliani's 9/11 sex dreams are absolutely terrifying. I was surprisingly grossed out by the cartoon image of the 9 giving it to the 11. Maybe it was because the 11 looked like it was enjoying it too much. Yeah.

Okay, so who gives a darn about the real candidates (or number sex)?! Let's move on. Super-special announcement! Stephen Colbert rolled in to the studio and attacked the Daily Show crowd. God, I'm so jealous of that audience. Screw you, October 16th Daily Show audience, screw you. Oh, sorry, that wasn't the announcement. The announcement was what Stephen said once he sat down and cracked open a beer. He's definitely going to consider running for President!... in the South Carolina primaries. He elaborated later on the Colbert Report that he's doing it as a "favorite son". NoFactZone.net has got this business covered, transcript and all. Also, I must commend the show for their use of the waving flag on the screen behind Stephen. Nice touch.

"Now You Tell Us": Former Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez recently called Iraq a "nightmare with no end in sight", which is quite different from his rosy point of view from just four years ago. Good to know, now that it's way too late. I believe that Jon deserves a slow clap for managing to work in a "Dirty Sanchez" joke. Well played, sir.

The night's guest was Meryl Streep, wearing a fitted Hefty bag, promoting Lions for Lambs and Rendition. I understand that the flirtation was polite, but anyone flirting with Meryl Streep makes me feel almost as uncomfortable as watching the 9 do the 11. I admire how well Streep does that frigid bitch thing, though. That quality, combined with the awesomeness that is Emily Blunt, almost made The Devil Wears Prada bearable. The interview dipped in and out of awkwardness but stayed mainly on-topic. Nothing too special. I think everyone was still giddy from seeing Stephen Colbert, actually. I know I was.

Moment of Zen: Go, Justin guy who played Uncle Sam, go! Get on with your bad "Tequila"-playing self.
