From the Pork Barrel: John Boehner, Socialism and Other Words That Obviously Go Together
* John Boehner's primary challenged David Lewis states the obvious: "John Boehner is a socialist." ("Socialist" is a generic term meaning someone I don't much care for, right? Yeah, I thought so.)
* Hey, since we've already lost the last four years to crippling bottomless recession due to the failings of unregulated capitalism, hey, why not just throw the rest of our lives down that well, too.
* Andrew Breitbart to Tea Partiers: "We outnumber [liberals] in this country, and we have the guns." Not sure about the numbers, but they definitely have the guns. And the heart medication; don't forget that.
* The deification of Ronald Reagan continues apace.
* The Daily Show's head writer thanked Glenn Beck after winning an Emmy, as well he should have!
* Glad to see Paul Krugman's singing career going so well.

The Daily Show Wins Two Emmys
Two Emmys walk into a bar. The first Emmy says, "I'm for Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Series." It drinks a couple beers and goes home with The Daily Show's writers. The second Emmy says, "I'm for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series." It drinks a couple gin and tonics and goes home with Jon Stewart, The Daily Show producers and everyone involved with making a fantastic fake-news show happen.
The bartender shakes his head and says, "That's a ridiculous way to congratulate people for winning television's top honor. Why don't we just watch some of The Daily Show's best clips from the past year?" You got it, barkeep.
More clips after the jump.
The Daily Show returns tomorrow with all-new episodes, Monday through Thursday at 11/10c.!
