I just finished watching the extended interview with Ken Blackwell. **Spoilier Alert** I don't think the extended interview helped Blackwell's case

The show was basically over after the Apple section (Appholes!) and the Michael Steele bit with Larry Wilmoore. Blackwell was possibly the worst guest I've seen in a while and the first extended interview I didn't bother to go watch.

I just got to watching the Colbert Report Episode with Julian Assange of Wikileaks.
Awesome interview by Colbert and he seemed to be genuinely shocked and angry about Assange's statements. Just remebered because you talked about people looking bad.

Five minutes in right now. This Blackwell guy is an IDIOT. And I mean that. You let this guy be a Mayor

Yeah. The guy can't even put together a coherent argument.
He may as well have come out and said 'Hey, I wrote a money grab for stupid Tea-Partiers'.
Once again, Stewart owned someone really stupid. It's what the show is all about. Which is what the thread is all about. Great show.

Seemed like his choice of inflammatory title came back to bite him in the ass.
Also, he was the Mayor of Cincinnati for one year after Jerry Springer.

What's less of a joke is that he was Secretary of State (the guy who runs elections) for Ohio in 2004 when that state in large part gave the election to Bush. I don't buy a lot of the conspiracies but there were definitely some shenanigans afoot there.

Five minutes in right now. This Blackwell guy is an IDIOT. And I mean that. You let this guy be a Mayor Oh, not just mayor, he was the Secretary of State of Ohio (my state) and he was directly responsible for Bush taking Ohio in 2004 by doing a bunch of unethical and possibly illegal stuff while being in charge of the state's voting process. He also ran for Governor the next election but was defeated, thank goodness. The man came across much less evil than he actually is in that interview. He's a truly terrible human being. Also he was mayor of Cincinatti. It's a horrible place. The town has all sorts of backwards, uptight morality laws and really belongs deep in the heart of some hillbilly Jebus state. It's the same town that elected Jerry Springer mayor until he was forced out after paying a hooker with a personal check.

Yep. I'm continually amazed we elected an open lesbian Mayor. Then I remember it was of Cincinnati itself, not the greater metro area. Nobody outside of the poor and college kids live in "Cincinnati" anymore.

They shouldn't be allowed to take breaks. I swear the universe attempts to go to shit faster when they take a break.

The first edition after a long break needs to be two hours long, otherwise they wouldn't be able to cover all the shit that happened while they were away.

Yeah and in the midst of the largest corporate fuck up and mismanagement ever, they brought on a corpse from the AEI to tell us that Corporations should be left alone by Government.
"Except for cleaning up oil spills."
You stay Classy AEI.

That whole AEI exchange was funny as fuck - he basically talked like he was in opposite world. He wanted the government to clean up the corporation's fuckup (which is the spiller's responsibility) but to leave the corporation alone when things go right and profits are being made. Socialize the risk, privatize the reward. But then, AEI is a large bag of dicks anyway.

Wow, the energy rant with the eight presidents was an amazing feat of research and delivered so well. Loved it.

I thought she did a great job. Of course I still remember Nancy Walls and Samantha Bee when she first started. And my father is absolutely enthralled by her.

I'm normally in this camp and never see what the big deal is about her, but that last interview I thought she did okay.

Ya, its tempting to judge her harshly right out the bat because she's pretty. I'm willing to let her try it on for a few months, see if she gets into the groove.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Indeed. Further, even the Mighty John Oliver has interviews that aren't funny. Sometimes the chemistry with the other chap/ess just isn't there.
The Seel interview, if that's what we're talking about, was just lame because the subject itself wasn't terribly funny.
IMO.
