If you're like me, you think about a Halloween costume at the very last minute. This year, if I suddenly need to dress up, I may go to
Forbes.com and . The financial website has printable face masks for all sorts of famous figures, including Stephen ColbertKatie Couric (although, it's the
old Katie Couric and it's scary).
There's also a Lindsay Lohan mask-- which looks more like Kate Bosworth if you ask me-- and a Borat mask. For the politically minded, there's Kim Jong Il, and for the people who like to make others uncomfortable, there's always Rep. Mark Foley. Blackberry not included.

"Garden Statement": Holy crap, Bush's
attire-banter is scary. Why the sudden interest in fashion? Geez. And the correspondent strip-poker thing was hilarious. I mean, the sight of seeing Dan Bakkedahl, Jason Jones, John Oliver, and Rob Riggle playing strip-poker was okay, but the united gasp of horror that arose from the audience as Bakkedahl started taking his underwear off?
That was comedy gold.

President Bush is infamous for his well-strategized photo ops and metaphorical backdrops. As for Dennis Hastert...
not so much. Hastert held a press conference to address the Mark Foley scandal... with a graveyard in the background. Jon's Cryptkeeper side-story was really funny because it sounded like he was still a little annoyed that an appearance would cost $10,000. "I like GORE! Aaah-hahaha."

"Paged Heat": Groans for the "GOP BBQ and nude Cub Scout wrestling" joke. Well, actually, the reaction for all the Mark Foley coverage can probably just be summed up in one massive, disgusted groan. How could Jon have possibly been surprised when the audience got all grossed out from his joke about Foley finger-banging two sophomores from Model UN on the catwalk of the rotunda? Eww.

"
Foley Erect" (unsurprisingly, that garnered a lot of groans from the audience): Mark Foley's a sick, sick bastard and the media had no trouble thinking up ways to make him seem like a sick, sick,
sick bastard. That one-handed typing business was pretty gross. Ugh. I probably would have laughed a little harder at the "Nudge, Nudge" clip (actually, I was wearing my Monty Python t-shirt while watching
TDS... yes, I have a Monty Python shirt) if I hadn't been twisting uncomfortably in my seat. Ughh. Foley. Gross. I even made the mistake of reading his
instant messaging conversation, out of sheer morbid curiosity. Stupid thing to do. Kind of wanted to throw up afterward.
