Its Six Degrees of the Cubs!  Didn't like how Will compared Faux News to Southwest.  I'd be insulted if I was Southwest.

What I can never figure out is why the Congresscritters and other electrons Stephen visits act as if they are in a serious interview.

George Will has always been a pompous, arrogant windbag.  Faux News is a good place for him.  Conservatives believe in change...uh huh. 

I can't believe there are people who think that Stephen is only funny because of his writers.  Watch him adapt on the fly to the crap that comes out of some of his guests and still say that.

I think the Congresspeople in particular wind up looking better if they play it straight. "Leave comedy to the professionals." It was adorable to see the L.A. congressman attempt to stifle his laughter during the "burrito" segment of BKAD.
