Bird’s Eye: Capitol for the White House to which she’s heading, according to Onion TV “News”  which says 62% of Americans are going to vote for her, just for the lulz. Meanwhile Stephen Colbert (always funny, sometimes brilliant) calls out a fellow newscaster for saying Palin isn’t news. This excerpt may be up there with his White House speech (“Reality has a well-known liberal bias”). And remember Mad Magazine? Well, they’re still around, and in “A Crass Roots Movement” they shine a Mad light on “Tea Party Logic”.

Yes, his consistent amplification of absurd news items to a level of hilarious observation is a consistent part of his routine, but the fake dimwittedness very often results in a much smarter meta-commentary than a straight report could ever provide. Take for example last night’s “pep talk” to Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski , who yesterday expressed frustration in having to discuss Sarah Palin’s interview with Sean Hannity.
