What Would Reagan Do?
Every time it seems like the candidates for the 2012 election are set in stone, someone gets knocked out and someone gets pushed in. In this clip, Bill Maher handicaps the primary prospects, from Herman H. Cain to Jesus H. Christ.
Debate and Switch (Candidates)
In case you missed it, here’s the GOP debate from the season premiere of SNL. How do they come up with this stuff!?
Scream Queen
Apparently, VH1 has a reality show called Ton of Cash where diminutive steroid casualties are allowed to indulge themselves in testosterone show-and-tells until they pass out. Watch the clip before The Situation sues for intellectual property theft.

Most Embarrassing Talent Show Auditions
This has been quite a summer for reality show talent competitions. First, American Idol ended with a ratings bang in May, proving it’s still a juggernaut. Then The Voice gave NBC it’s first hit since their 1970′s Evil Knievel miniseries (aside from a few in the 80′s and 90′s, but still, it’s been a while). Then America’s Got Talent scored its best season yet. And, finally, Glenn Beck got fired from Fox News as part of…
Comedy Repression Therapy
Congresswoman and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann continues to rise in the polls. Now the frontrunner in Iowa, Bachmann seems like a runaway train that maybe not even the Romneybot can stop. But what’s her deal re: family? Happy marriage for 33 years? Check. Husband is a gay repression therapist obsessed with keeping the gayness of, er, others in the closet? Check. Here’s Jon Stewart with more on Closetgate, followed by a comedy therapy session in which Jerry Seinfeld tries to help him avoid the urge to make fun of this easy target.
U.S. History According to Bachmann
It’s the 4th of July, so it’s time for an American history lesson! The fact is, Americans have been getting a slow, painful (and creatively “fact checked”) U.S. history lesson from Rep. Michele Bachmann for the past few months. Finally, just in time for the 4th, Jimmy Kimmel has gathered her entire sweeping historical epic into one presentation. So throw out those AP U.S. History text books, kids! This is the real deal!
Cool Dads!!!
Father’s Day is this weekend, and if you haven’t sent off a card or a present yet, just forward this to let him know that he’s a cool dad too. This video is from Mail Order Comedy, the sketch group behind the hilarious new Comedy Central show Workaholics.
Jon Stewart’s Epic NYC Pizza/Trump Rant
If there is one thing New Yorkers take seriously, besides never forgetting to “never forget” and hating on the post-Giuliani Times Square, it’s pizza. Here’s Jon Stewart on Donald Trump’s egregious “pizza summit” with Sarah Palin.
Master Debaters
Last week, the five official candidates for the Republican presidential nomination locked horns at a debate in South Carolina. Unfortunately, no one cared.
Fortunately, this past Saturday the unofficial heavyweight contenders for the GOP nomination met on the field of battle in New Hampshire. Much to Rep. Michele Bachmann‘s confusion, it was not the Lexington and Concord field of battle.
Nevertheless, Bachmann and a host of other all-star potential Republican candidates showed up. Including a couple you may have heard of… such as ex-Gov. Sarah Palin (Tina Fey) and ex-Birther Donald Trump (Darrell Hammond). Vive la Election 2012!
