War-hawk delegate by day, horny robbery victim by night.

That's the tale of Gabriel Nathan Schwartz at Republican National Convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul. One minute, the Colorado delegate is bellowing for permanent war. The next, he's drugged in a hotel room minus $120,000 worth of cash and bling.

Here's how Schwartz spent the day of September 3rd…

* Appears in a mid-afternoon interview with LinkTV.org. In it, he announces he's voting for McCain in hopes of "less taxes and more war." Smiling, he repeats "more war" for added emphasis.

* Asked what he would do if he were commander in chief, he replies he would start a war with Iran and "bomb the hell of them from the sky," adding that they could also be defeated "with a slingshot."

* Shares his financing plan for this Iran war: "We should plant a flag. Take the oil, take the money. We deserve reimbursement."

* Sends his message to those protesting the convention: "Get a job."

* At this point, the American Douchebag Guild interrupts the interview to declare they have renounced Schwartz.

And then later that night…

* Schwartz checks into the Hotel Ivy, a $319 dollar per night hotel several miles from where the rest of the Colorado delegation is staying.

* He picks up a single woman in the hotel's bar and invites her to his room for sex.

* The woman fixes Schwartz a drink and tells him to undress.

* Hours later, Schwartz awakens in a haze. The woman has stolen his wallet, a $30,000 watch, a $20,000 ring, a $5,000 necklace, $4,000 earrings and a $1,000 Prada belt.

* The American Douchebag Guild reappears to laugh so hard they wet their pants.

Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) has faced plenty of ridicule for the past 15 months following accusations that he solicited sex from a toilet stall in a Minneapolis airport.

The passage of time, a presidential campaign, and the perennially unfolding Lindsay Lohan saga should have made this scandal disappear long ago. But Craig's shame is still making headlines, thanks to the efforts of one very powerful individual…

Larry Craig…

Lawyers for U.S. Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho asked a Minnesota Court on Wednesday to void the guilty plea he made following his arrest last year in a men's toilet sex-sting operation…

Craig was arrested at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on June 11, 2007, after an undercover police officer said the lawmaker kept looking through a crack in the door, sat down in a stall next to him and used hand and foot signals to indicate he was soliciting sex.

Why is Craig still dragging this out in court?  His Senate career in its final months and it's not like there's a lawmaking "seniors tour" he could be banned from. If anything, he should take a page from fellow celebrity convict O.J. "If I Did It" Simpson and write a book where he explains what it might be like if he actually was scoring anonymous toilet sex with business travelers.

It could be like a Penthouse Forum for closeted gay federal lawmakers.

Don't laugh. According to former Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-AZ), that's a bigger demographic than you think.

While the Jon Stewart and the Daily Show correspondents recharge their batteries following two weeks of ass-kicking convention coverage, let's use this week to take a look back on the cream of their convention coverage.

The DS correspondents bring it hard core to the DNC and show why they're The Best Fucking News Team Ever.

John, Jason, Aasif and Rob report live from Larry Craig's infamous bathroom/sexatorium in Minneapolis.

Jon chooses the media analysis of Wyatt Cenac over Samantha Bee's, even though she's "Still the One."

Sarah Palin is just a small town gal, which means that when she's president in 10 months, America will start to look a lot more like a small town.

If you're one of the 38.9 million people who forgot to turn your televisions off after the Giants-Redskins game on Thursday, then you probably found yourself captivated by the calming white noise that was John McCain's acceptance speech.

But, here's a little moment you might have missed. It seems to be some kind of glitch with the video projection behind McCain's head. I myself didn't catch it the first time around (although, I will admit that I was drifting in and out of sleep).

Pay very close attention to the screen at about 11 seconds in…

Funny. I feel like I should have noticed a thing like that.

So, wait a minute. We couldn't score the credentials to get into the Xcel Energy Center to participate in the Republican National Convention, but Triumph the Insult Comic Dog could?

I feel neutered, somehow…

However, I will say that Triumph's political analysis was appropriately sober and thoughtful.

Well, for the circumstances.
