Anyone on Barack Obama's mailing list knows that the campaign hasn't been shy about asking for donations — and for good reason. The President is in serious danger of being outspent by opponent Mitt Romney, and that could have serious consequences in the November election.
On tonight's Real Time, Bill Maher closed by picking the perfect running mate for Mitt Romney: Maher himself. So what if they disagree on every major issue? Mitt has disagreed with himself just as much.
We're all aware of the Supreme Court's Obamacare ruling today (and the fuck ups by CNN and Fox News) but what happened in spin alley after the decision came down? On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart took a survey of some Republican reactions, focusing on Mitt Romney's completely predictable (and contradictory) remarks.
It isn't news that Mitt Romney is raking in donations by the millions, far more than Obama has brought in. On tonight's Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert examined the reasons behind this and the creative ways Obama is trying to catch up.
As the 2012 presidential election approaches, pundits are talking a whole lot of game about civil rights, the economy, and (big one coming up Thursday) healthcare. Meanwhile, the American people care about one issue and one issue only:
Both President Obama and Mitt Romney spoke at the NALEO conference last week just before the Supreme Court's decision about Arizona's controversial immigration laws. So who did a better job of getting his message across? On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart broke it down.
Even though their father has been conspicuously absent from most non-Fox News media outlets, his five sons appeared on tonight's Conan. To start off, Conan does the only sensible thing and hands out name tags then goes right after their collective love of khakis.
With the news that a dressage horse co-owned by Ann Romney might be heading to the Olympics, Stephen Colbert has a new favorite sport. He's so committed to what is obviously America's new pastime that he's even whipped up an exciting new anthem which is sure to entice every Joe Sixpack out there.
The political gaffe, once something that had the power to ruin careers and destroy campaigns, can now come and go in a single day.

Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee isn't afraid to express himself.
Stephen Colbert doesn't trust the New York Times, and hasn't for a while. On tonight's Colbert Report, Stephen explained their latest offense: attacking Mitt Romney for nothing more than the size of one of his homes and the massive renovation that he has undertaken there.
What's it like to be Mitt Romney's neighbor? Pretty shitty, according to a Times article about the candidate's $12 million, three-bedroom house (once occupied by Richard Gere) in the San Diego suburb of La Jolla.

Yesterday, a tipster sent us a note indicating that he had successfully accessed Mitt Romney's Hotmail and DropBox accounts after guessing the answer to a security question—Romney's favorite pet. The Romney campaign later confirmed that "the proper authorities are investigating [the] crime." Now that tipster has written a letter of apology to Romney. Here it is.
Everything old is new again: A tipster has emailed Gawker claiming to have hacked into Mitt Romney's private email and DropBox accounts.
It was the typo mocked round the world, but it seems Mitt Romney's misspelled America is benefiting at least one person in the best way possible.
