Stephen Colbert on the Violation of BP's Cash-titutional Rights

It's really heartwarming to see so many of Joe Barton's friends — like Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, Ben Stein and Rep. Michele Bachmann — lining up alongside Barton and BP and opposing the American government they've all been speaking out against for so these years…

Daily Show: Tony Hayward Postpones His Dolphin Hunt

As Jon Stewart pointed out on last night's Daily Show, while oil continued to poison the Gulf of Mexico at a catastrophic rate, BP CEO Tony Hayward was participating in a yacht race over the weekend. There is a bright side to this story though, as engineers now believe they may be able to plug the gushing well with Hayward's giant balls.

Joe Biden Is Coerced into Speaking His Brains

It's really the beginning of this clip that I find the most interesting…

Joe Biden — and everybody around Joe Biden — is so aware of what a Joe Biden he is that he has to play this, "Are you sure you want me to open my mouth?" game with the press.

What a weird administration.

The Daily Show: Joe Barton's on the Cover of Disdainful A**hole Digest

I'm pretty sure this isn't Barton's first time on the cover of his favorite magazine. Like, wasn't he on there around the time of this exchange with Steven Chu? (Memories… sigh…) This time, however, he's the centerfold! And I hear we get the full disdainful a**hole…
