Watch SNL rip Obama for being all talk and no action.

Stephen Colbert points out the vital impact the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission Supreme Court case will have on corporate control of elections and the democratic process.

Bill Maher: "The Democrats just never learn. Americans don’t really care which side of an issue you’re on as long as you don’t act like pussies... stand up for the 70 percent of Americans who aren’t crazy."

Thought we would lighten it up a bit... :) Comedy kings reunite with a star-studded ensemble cast for a vacation to paradise in "Couples Retreat."

Jon Stewart want's to know where all of Obama’s promises of transparency went.

Obama needs to start putting it on the line in fights against the banks, the energy companies and the healthcare industry.

Facebook has gotten Betty White the gig she never asked for: host of Saturday Night Live. The 88-year-old actress, beloved by generations of TV fans, will host NBC's late-night veteran May 8. The Mother's Day episode also will feature a reunion of six former female cast members, most of them moms: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch. SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels says he has "always wanted" White to host. "Years ago, I turned it down three times," White says. "It's so New York, and I'm not New York at all. "But my agent said he'd divorce me if I didn't do it, and I love my agent." (That agent, Jeff Witjas, says he was only joking, but "it's perfect timing for her career right now. I said, 'Do it now, or when you're 95.' ")" Tags: SNL Posted by: ampedstatus

"You know what we need to juice up the performance of our weak economy? Viagra. Yes, America needs a new Viagra, specifically targeted to stiffen backbones — in particular, the limp backbones of Barack Obama's team, as well as the flaccid spines of Democratic congressional leaders. Where's the drug industry when we really need it? The Obama-ites seem incapable of firm stands. They excite us by boldly addressing our economic woes, then they seduce us by proposing stout actions. But when it comes time to follow through — it's droopsville." Tags: no_tag Posted by: ampedstatus

On Monday’s Daily Show, Stewart called into question the mainstream media’s amnesiac view of Iraq’s elections.And correspondent John Oliver has a lot of people he wants to thank for the initial invasion. Tags: Daily Show Iraq Posted by: ampedstatus

"Anti-gay California state Sen. Roy Ashburn today demanded a sweeping recall of the vehicle that drove him to a gay nightclub last week. Ashburn, a Republican who has consistently voted for anti-gay legislation, said that the car drove him to the club “against my will.” “If we are recalling cars for problems with their brakes and power steering, then surely we should be recalling vehicles that force their drivers to go to gay nightclubs,” Ashburn said. The senator said not only did the car drive him to the gay nightclub, but it forced him to enter the club and party there for hours, resulting in his later arrest for DUI. “I can’t tell you what a menace this car is,” he said. “It really is the gayest car I’ve ever seen.”" Tags: no_tag Posted by: ampedstatus

I will come to D.C. and clean up the mess that's been created around you. I will work for $1 a year. I will help the Dems on Capitol Hill find their spines and I will teach them how to nonviolently beat the Republicans to a pulp. And I will help you get done what the American people sent you there to do. I don't need much, just a cot in the White House basement will do. Now, don't get too giddy with excitement over my offer, because you and I are going to be up at 5 in the morning, 7 days a week and I am going to get you pumped up for battle every single day . Each morning you and I will do 100 jumping jacks and you will repeat after me: Tags: Michael Moore Posted by: ampedstatus

We have no idea what these Italian (we think) producers are fighting about, but it was obviously very important to them. They couldn't even wait until they got out of the view of the camera before they let their fists fly. The way the anchor slinks out as the fight progresses is priceless.

This from a panel of today's Tom Tomorrow strip, titled "Too Much Crazy," depicting New York Times Public Editor Clark Hoyt "as a weasel." The quote in the panel is taken from the mindblowing emails Hoyt sent to me recently, as one of his reasons for not recommending the "paper of record" issue retractions for their repeatedly inaccurate and misreported coverage of the James O'Keefe/Andrew Breitbart ACORN video "pimp" hoax, as The BRAD BLOG has now been covering for weeks.

Viacom has decided to pull The Daily Show, The Colbert Report and other Comedy Central content from Hulu at 11:59 PST on March 9. It’s presumably doing so because the income it receives from the online venture isn’t good enough. The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are two of the most popular shows on Hulu (Hulu), so it’s a big loss for both the video site — which just posted about the “farewell” on its blog — and for consumers of web video, thousands of whom have daily turned to Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert for a bit of entertainment and news during their cubicle lunch breaks. This is arguably Hulu’s first big programming setback, though other online entertainment services like Netflix Watch Instantly and GameTap have lost important content deals in the past."

While news networks were trying to decide who won Thursday's health care reform summit, Jon Stewart says cable news pundits were the real losers. "Obviously any event of this magnitude involving the President of the United States, members of both parties, television cameras and talking -- it's going to have its skeptics," Stewart explained.

Liberal talk show host Ed Schultz would like to take the heart of former Vice President Dick Cheney – who is currently recovering from his fifth heart attack – and “rip it out and kick it around and stuff it back in him.” On his radio show Wednesday, Schultz mocked conservatives who have attacked him for going after the health of the former vice president. “You’re damn right, Dick Cheney's heart's a political football,” Schultz said, which was recorded by the media blog Radio Equalizer. “We ought to rip it out and kick it around and stuff it back in him."

If you think Santa Claus gets a lot of mail, that's nothing compared to the Federal Communications Commission's Enforcement Bureau, the part of the regulatory agency that handles indecency complaints. Tim Doyle, a reporter for industry consulting firm SNL Kagan, went to the trouble of filing a Freedom of Information Act to get a little information about just how many complaints the FCC is sifting through and what shows are the biggest offenders. Before we get to what shows are getting the most complaints, let's look at the backlog of indecency complaints at the FCC. Doyle reports here that at the end of last year the FCC had a walloping 1.45 million pending complaints and 12,049 open cases. " Tags: FCC Family Guy Posted by: ampedstatus

Newspapers (and even some news websites) just keep providing us with gold. Last week, we showed the you creepiest classified ads, and now we've collected our favorite unintentionally funny headlines. We're convinced that none of these publications have editors. And if they do, either they have an amazing sense of humor, or they're completely oblivious. If it's the latter, perhaps they missed on being a teenager, when anything sounding remotely sexual was the funniest thing in the world. Tags: no_tag Posted by: ampedstatus

"In the fictional conversation below, two fatcat bankers chat about the creation of a new agency to regulate consumer financial products like credit cards and mortgages.

Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, MSNBC Washington Correspondent Norah O'Donnell, and "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane appeared on "Real Time With Bill Maher" Friday. Spitzer had tough words for Barack Obama on and his constant search for bipartisanship. "Fundamental reform doesn't come from bipartisanship. And it seems to me bipartisanship has become appeasement. Barack Obama won an election based on a set of principles. Fight for them." McFarlane agreed with Spitzer's remark about bipartisanship and advised Obama to be more like Bush.
