Nancy Pelosi Sees Ghosts in the White House, Doesn't Call the Ghostbusters

Speaking in front of the Women's Political Committee,  Nancy Pelosi — House Minority Leader and Bizarro Michele Bachmann — claimed she saw the spirits of Suffragette icons in the White House materialize before her and heard them say, "At last we have a seat at the table."

Oh my God. That must have been terrifying… for the ghosts! BOOM!

What do White House ghosts do to scare each other at night? Tell Nancy Pelosi stories! BAZZZIIIIING! SOCK IT TO ME!

John Oliver on the Difference Between U.S. and U.K. Elections

Also, the magic that is/was Herman Cain, thoughts on the new season of his Comedy Central stand-up series, and a solemn promise concerning the upcoming Daily Show coverage of the RNC and DNC conventions…

"Listen, I'm not saying the British democracy is the perfect democracy either. It is also completely screwed up, but in a different way. And we at the very least spend less money and less time doing it. We have our entire campaign season over about five weeks. So, there has to be a happy medium between five weeks and one-and-a-half years." – John Oliver

John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show airs Friday nights at 11/10c.
