Okay, so maybe I didn't watch the RNC, like, at all. I could barely suspend my dislike of certain primary newscasters long enough to get through my own party's convention (like Keith/hate Matthews; loathe Wolf/adore Anderson), I sure as hell wasn't gonna do it to hear these douchebags speak. But what I did manage to catch this week was TDS being totally fucking awesome. Some clips, for those of you in dire need of comedy and/or feeling like the talking heads are all losing their damn minds:





The Best F***ing News Team Ever's hurricane coverage...at the RNC. A near-perfect skewering of willing RNC dupes AND perpetually soggy (in all senses of the word) disaster coverage. George Bush doesn't care about George Bush's people! (And how adorable is the new guy, Wyatt?)




Playing the gender card with our buddies Karl Rove, Papa Bear O'Reilly and Dick Morris . This one is so beautiful I don't even have the words. Hypocrisy: ur doin it right. (And an extra fuck you to Rove, Richmond is awesome.)




If you were offended by Palin's and Guiliani's sneers over Obama being a community organizer (and you should be), then this clip is for you. FREEBIRD! FREEBIRD! FREEBIRD!




Lastly, Sam Bee speaks to delegates about Bristol Palin and...you know, that thing that happens when you have a lot of options and you have to select one... This one makes me want to cry, but whether it's at the epic awesome or the epic fail I have yet to MAKE A CHOICE. I'm just gonna put this last outside the cut, because if you only watch one, it should be this. You might cry too.

FYI Samantha Bee and I are married now.

We were girlfriends after the "lady brain" thing but this sealed it.

As a fellow Vagina American, I support this.

I'm not sure which amused me more last night: "Freedom of choice is not the same as pro-choice" (what, we stand around outside doctor offices waiting to stab pregnant women in the belly?), or the woman who looked like she wanted to chew her own foot off rather than utter the word.

The woman who literally could not form a full sentence was the most effective, I think. She was the only one who seemed to realize what the problem was.

I love TDS so damn much. Tonight's episode was fantastic too, especially showing "the film" of John McCain's career. So damn true that it almost wasn't funny. Hypocrisy, thy name is Republican.

That video was so much harsher than I'd been expecting. I loved it.

You have to feel bad for the young woman who struggles so heroically to deal with her cognitive dissonance in the Palin video.

::nods:: God, it must be exhausting to be a party-line Republican. Having to maintain that level of cognitive dissonance and willful ignorance every day>
