"You're Not Helping: Campaign Edition": Taking a break from the Eliot Spitzer news, Jon talked about some of the least helpful campaign supporters in the Democratic race. First up, Hillary Clinton supporter Geraldine Ferraro said that Barack Obama is lucky to be who he is, because a white man with his background would not have made it this far. On the other side, Obama's supporter and pastor Jeremiah Wright got a bit too excited, threw down one of those "God damn America!"s and it was all over.

Special Commentator Kristen Schaal popped up to talk about Hillary Clinton. What a surprise to see Schaal! I've absolutely loved her on HBO's Flight of the Conchords and I never would have imagined her joining the Daily Show. Although her piece was funny ("All those people are dead now..."), I don't know how much I like her as a TDS person. TDS is supposed to be a fake news show, so where does Schaal fit in? She just seems like a random comedian brought in to bring the somewhat relevant funnies... because she kind of is. Schaal is going to need to tweak her tone or at least work on her news-y delivery before I can fully accept her. Until then, I'll keep loving FotC's Mel.



The night's guest was current White House Press Secretary Dana Perino. The girl was looking super fierce in pink and her hair was so shiny, I was briefly distracted from all the ridiculous things she was saying. Briefly. It was obvious that Jon was working really hard to stay as polite as possible, but he totally wasn't buying any of it.

Moment of Zen: Joyous President Bush loves prayers!
