Mosque Attack Pushes Iraq Toward Civil War

SAMARRA, Iraq - Insurgents posing as police destroyed the golden dome of one of Iraq's holiest Shiite shrines Wednesday, setting off an unprecendented spasm of sectarian violence. Angry crowds thronged the streets, militiamen attacked Sunni mosques, and at least 19 people were killed. With the gleaming dome of the 1,200-year-old Askariya shrine reduced to rubble, some Shiites lashed out at the United States as partly to blame.

Off to watch Daily Show/Colbert Report now.

Toodles!

Wow, that Jason Jones fella just ain't very funny...he's like a step down from Ed Helms (Helms is okay, but he was always a poor-man's Colbert).

and I don't feel that I am alone on this one...the crowd didn't even applaud his introduction at all tonight...eep!

Well, at least his clip got some laughs for a change. (even if the whole segment was rather obvious)

Stewart is keeping things passable with the help of Rob Corddry...but they need someone to fill the massive Carell/Colbert gap...asap.

More Demetri Martin would be a step in the right direction.

eep!

Please leave The Daily Show and take Jason Jones with you. You're a poor man's Rob Corddry.

Not me, but so far I would have to agree with this.

Mostly Hits :
Demetri Martin
Rob Corddry (well, he also misses quite a bit...but he gets away with only because I kinda like him)


Hit and Miss:
Samantha Bee
Ed Helms
Nathan Corddry
Lewis Black (his last appearances have been really weak)

I'm sure their ratings are hurting with Colbert dwarfing them in comparison (and he is pretty much solo at a desk for 20 mins)...if they don't find truly strong "correspondents" soon (i.e. not simply husbands and siblings), I could see the show slide down and down and eventually get axed.

Sounds early for so a forecast? Probably. But if they ever swap slots because of ratings battles...it won't take much for people to forget the once mighty Daily Show.

I'm already losing interest.  

[matthew]

And yes, I am aware that they have writers that much of the blame should fall to...but a good humourist should be able to make the most of weak material.

and Christ above all else - some real guests perhaps?

Some loser from some TV show called "lost" WTF is that?
