I’ve been out of town the past few days so I have not been able to get my regular dose of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report.
Stephen Colbert took the morning shows out to the woodshed and proceeded to systematically tear them apart using sarcasm alone over their handling of his “interview” with Rep. Robert Wexler (D-Florida).
Moral of the story: Did everyone forget Colbert’s skewering of President Bush at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner earlier this year? If you mess with this man, you do so at your own peril, and it won’t be pretty.

‘Wash Post’ Error: Ran Sex Phone Number for Lebanon Evacuees

NEW YORK The Washington Post ran an article Thursday that included a phone number for evacuees in Lebanon to call — but it turned out to be a number for a sex line.
The paper corrected it online but the number already appeared in print on A19.
The Web site Wonkette first reported it. A staffer called the “800” and got, the site said, this message: “Feeling horny? Try these red hot lines from National. Live hot fun at just 69 cents per minute.”
The lesson, it said: “Americans seeking information about evacuations of US citizens in Lebanon should just relax, man.”

President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair had a rather interesting and candid exchange over how to resolve the current escalation of violence in the Middle East. Unfortunately for them, it appears that they didn’t know they were on camera or that the microphone nearby was on and was picking up every word.
Sky News has a full transcript of the conversation.
The guys who put together the hilarious Brokeback to the Future parody trailer have decided to take a stab at the new X-Men movie.
