"Donkey Party" (haha): This has been a week of amazing break-ups. First, Britney and K-Fed (I, a solid Alternative Rock fan, am unusually excited about the return of hot-Britney) and now, Bush and Rumsfeld. Oh, hell yes.

Obviously, the Republicans aren't taking all the Democratic wins that well... As for the blue folks themselves, they don't quite know how to handle the concept of "victory" either. Senior Political Correspondent Rob Riggle briefly checked in, sporting a nasty black eye (due to a "way ward high five"). QUESTION: Is Riggle just, like, completely unable to find a suit jacket that fits? He's almost always either only in shirt and tie or wearing a creepy Ambramoff-ish trenchcoat. Senior Political Correspondent Dan Bakkedahl talked a bit about how Republicans didn't do enough negative campaigning. I stopped paying attention about a sentence in because I just noticed that Bakkedahl no longer has that creepy, bald/curly Frasier Crane hair. Instead, he has an awkward little combover. I uess it's more reporter-ish, in a way.

Jon started with some news about election irregularities and a Katherine Harris joke (regarding Ohio's Ken Blackwell, who garnered considerable boo's and hisses at first: "Think of him as a more do-able Katherine Harris..." [audience laughs and cheers] "They boo him, and suddenly they all want to bang him!"). Samantha Bee, Aasif Mandvi (he's ALIVE!), and Rob Riggle, dressed as a slutty nurse for Halloween, briefly offered some thoughts. Apparently, during the Daily Show special OSU performance on Saturday (not televised), Jon pointed out a slutty nurse or something? I don't know, I wasn't there... Some people on the Internet were talking about how Riggle was dressed very similarly to Saturday's slutty nurse and, since it was on the Internet, it must be true.
