Proving once again that the Daily Show audience is willing to boo at just about anything Bush-related without really thinking about it, they managed to hiss at the mere mention that Bush is now officially our most well-traveled president. Come on, don't make the rest of us look like trained seals too. Anyway, the president tried to beat the rush by heading out to Beijing a few days before the Olympics and was met with -- hey, what a surprise -- protest and a bunch of angry Chinese people with adorably designed anti-Bush signs.



"George Walker Bush: Still President: His Not Yet Legacy: Language": That's got more colons than a typical TDS guest's book. Or a giant monster that loves to poop. I apologize for that stupid joke; I'm still sleepy. Anyway, since the beginning of his presidency, Bush has shown us that he has a strong grasp on the English language. His favorite thing to do is to make up elaborate euphemisms for every terrible thing that happens to this country. The funniest has got to be all the stuff for "torture." Wait, did I say "funniest"? I meant "most horrifying."



"The News Better Run: Samantha Bee": We haven't seen Samantha Bee since early June, most likely because she had her second baby and is very busy being a mommy. In this hilarious profile of her, we learned some fun facts about her role in the correspondents team, bringing a touch of femininity and making the boys' club feel like a bunch of pussies at the same time. Please note that Sam's in utero election center is full of Macs, specifically, and Jason Jones has some mommy issues. And have I mentioned that I really heart Fareed Zakaria? "Samantha Bee ... I don't think you can legally call what she does journalism." I thought this was amazing and I'm looking forward to seeing the other correspondents' profiles.



The night's guest was Seth Rogen, promoting Pineapple Express, a stoner flick with guns and at least one Hot Fuzz reference, apparently. Proving himself to be an amazing role model for kids all across the world, Mr. Rogen spent most of the interview telling the audience that dropping out of school and smoking a lot of weed is the way to success and giggling a lot on TDS. But you end up aging rapidly and being super-forgetful, which are some unfortunate cons.



Moment of Zen: President Bush doesn't think we're in a recession, but he thinks we're in a lot of other things that make our economy sad.

And don't forget to check out this Larry Wilmore interview from our own Joel Keller. Man, I miss "Wilmore/Oliver Investigates". Here's one of those reports, just for old times' sake.
