Everyone's getting bored now. Megyn is running around talking to people all over the set and trying to make love to her "launchpad," while others are handing out cookies and snacks. When the election is turning into a landslide (which is how Fox News would have us think), I guess they're at a loss as to how to fill the time. "We booked the whole night for this coverage. Vamp! Vamp!" For more on why I love Fox News Election coverage, flip to the other side.
I think it's time to shake things up. Go crazy and call the whole election for McCain. Or even Nader. People will look back on it fondly and you'll be infamous in history. Just picture Brit Morgan's dour skull with the skin melting off looking at the camera with the words "McCain Projected to Win Presidency" below him.

I wasn't going to write an individual post about Monday's Fox News session, but a few things happened near the end of the panel that compelled me to write a bit about it, even if it's more than a day later. The panel, which consisted of
Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace, former Bush administration guru and current Fox News analyst Karl Rove,
Harold Howard Wolfson, a newly-hired Fox News analyst who worked as the communications director on Hillary Clinton's campaign, and Fox News executive vice president John Moody.
I figured that the presence of Karl Rove on the panel would have had the drooling critics in the crowd ready to pounce. But, for the most part, the press conference started very cordially. Things started to get testy near the end though. What is surprising, however, is that the reporters didn't have more problems with Chris Wallace than Rove.

Apparently, Michael Vick's dogfighting troubles are still
going pretty strong. Somehow, Jon managed to work in a joke about dogs playing poker. Hmm.
"Operation: Fluffy Bunny": Senior Baghdad Correspondent Rob Riggle filed a report that was slightly less pointless than that of last night. He and the crew must be working so hard on these specials. I hope they get something really good soon, so that their efforts will not have been in vain. I mean, the best they've managed to do so far is come up with a list of dildo types. Come on.

"
The Departed": I screamed when I heard the news of Karl Rove's departure, and I think a bit of my heart exploded as well. I thought this segment was going to provide Jon with one last chance to roll that
horrible clip of MC Rove, rapping with Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie, but they didn't do it! I was a bit relieved and a bit disappointed at the same time. Fun Fact: The name "Turd Blossom" will never stop being funny.
Senior White House Correspondent John Oliver talked about the magical joy that is Mr. Rove. First of all, "doughy pantaloons" sounds like a horrible pastry. Second, a "turd pinata" sounds like a very bad surprise at a kid's birthday party. Third, John Oliver and animated woodland creatures are a great team.

(S05E18) And so ends a short, inconsistent,
Family Guy season. I don't know if we should chalk it up to Seth MacFarlane being spread too thin with
American Dad and
The Winner to watch over, or just the show coming up on 100 episodes. Something just wasn't quite right at
Family Guy HQ this season though.

First up, coverage of Karl Rove being, um, super-hip at the Radio-Television Correspondents' Dinner. "Let's say Jeffrey Dahmer came to your Bar Mitzvah and turned out to be a great dancer... He's still Jeffrey Dahmer." Oh, Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie... For even participating in this event, you two have disappointed me so. I think everyone should experience the horrid sight of MC Karl Rove bustin' a move, because after seeing it, all the sad things in life don't seem so bad anymore. As service to society, I have included the video in this post after the jump.

What do you get when you combine Rosie O'Donnell, Donald Trump, Bill O'Reilly, Britney Spears, Anderson Cooper, Keith Olbermann, Geraldo Rivera, Walter Cronkite, Edward R. Murrow and a cat? A satirical video lampooning the news judgment shown by many in the TV news industry.
Released last night during the Radio and TV Correspondents Association dinner -- yes the same one where presidential advisor Karl Rove pretended to be a hip-hop master -- the JibJab guys who created the hilarious 2004 campaign videos have now aimed their guns at the elite TV media personalities.
And hilarity ensues.

Hey, guess what?
Karl Rove is not going to be indicted. Jon Stewart's audience doesn't take this very well and starts boo-ing and hissing. Jon finds their reaction pretty amusing and says of his audience, "You may remember them from Salem. 'See if she floats! If she does, she is a
witch!'"

While announcing the night's guest was to be Robin
Williams, Jon cracked a Paul Williams joke. He then chuckled at the mild response and called himself the oldest man
alive, shouting, "Ancient mariner!" Ah, it would have been funnier/made more sense if he had slung an
albatross around his neck.

Jon Stewart started off with some news
from two of the last monarchies in the world: Nepal and England.
"
The King
and Them": Nepal has created a new daytime curfew to try and push back anti-royal protestors. Some German
tourist was being a jerk about it and Jon spent a few minutes making fun of him. Apparently, the tourist had picked up
the latest edition of
Let's Go: Be A Dick In Nepal.

The White House
staff shake-up continued when
Emperor Palpatine Karl Rove
was demoted. His replacement is
going to be Joel Kaplan.
Chinese president Hu Jintao paid a visit to Washington... both the state and DC.
Actually, he flew into Seattle first to speak to Bill Gates. Yup. Hu Jintao met Bill Gates before the president. Bill
Gates had a few words to share regarding the similarities between China and Microsoft, when the
little paper clip guy popped up: "You seem to be
equivocating morally dubious circumstances. Would you like some help?"
