First of all, I was surprised that there was absolutely no mention of Fred Thompson dropping out of the race. I'm pretty sure the news broke well before the show started taping, and it's not like they didn't have the time to, you know, write it into the script. Secondly, the Dow plummeted and Bush likes to ride mowers in circles. "Indecison 2008": I thought Jon was going to pull something during his crazy rave scene. I'll admit, it was cool, but not quite as cool as Conan O'Brien's masterful German light shows. Anyway, that intense glow-stick flailing was all for the recent Clinton vs. Obama vs. Edwards throw-down. The elusive Dave Chappelle was also in attendance, for some reason. Maybe Obama started doing those "brother" jokes because he spotted Chappelle. It's a good thing he didn't throw out a Li'l Jon style "Whaaat?!"
