"Hard-hitting" "MSM" journalist Katie Couric has uncloaked both Palin and Beck.
That is all.

Later in the night, Stephen Colbert also parodied Beck's "The War Room" by premiering his new segment "The Doom Bunker."

Occasionally, Stewart and Colbert line it up well and deliver a hilarious 1-2 punch.

this is a clinic on the whack jobs at Fox and the people who loved them. In case you get lost in the hoopla, Hoffman, the man about to start the gop revolution (according to sean insannity), lost. hilarious if it weren't so shameful. All of them were left holding each others' teabags. Fitting for these goofballs and the people who love them.

Sorry, gamagin, the Hoffman win is preventing a GOP suicide, according to another one of your likely heroes.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/08/opinion/08rich.html

But first let’s make a farewell accounting of the farce upstate. The reason why the Democratic victory in New York’s 23rd is a mixed blessing is simple: it increases the odds that the Republicans will not do Democrats the great favor of committing suicide between now and the next Election Day.

This race was a damaging setback for the hard right. Hoffman had the energetic support of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Fox as well as big bucks from their political auxiliaries. Furthermore, Hoffman was running not only in a district that Rove himself described as “very Republican” but one that fits the demographics of the incredibly shrinking G.O.P. The 23rd is far whiter than America as a whole — 93 percent versus 74 — with tiny sprinklings of blacks, Hispanics and Asians. It has few immigrants. It’s rural. Its income and education levels are below the norm. Only if the district were situated in Dixie — or Utah — could it be a more perfect fit for the narrow American demographic where the McCain-Palin ticket had its sole romps last year.

If the tea party right can’t win there, imagine how it might fare in the nation where most Americans live. Some G.O.P. leaders have started to notice. Mitt Romney didn’t endorse Hoffman despite right-wing badgering to do so. On Wednesday, Michael Steele dismissed the right’s mantra that somehow Hoffman’s loss could be called a victory and instead talked up the newly elected Republican governors who won by appealing to independents and moderates. Chris Christie and Bob McDonnell are plenty conservative, but both had rejected Palin’s offers to campaign for them. They also avoided the tea party zanies, the fear-mongering National Organization for Marriage and the anti-abortion-rights zealots Hoffman embraced. They positioned themselves as respectful Obama critics, not haters likening him to Hitler.

In the aftermath of this clear-cut demonstration of how Republicans can win, the revolutionaries are still pledging to purge the party’s moderates by rallying behind more Hoffmans in G.O.P. primaries from Florida to California. And they may get some scalps. But Tuesday’s loss revealed that they’re better at luring freak-show gawkers into Fox’s tent than voters into the G.O.P.’s. As if to prove the point, protesters hoisted a sign likening health care reform to Dachau at the raucous tea party rally convened by Michele Bachmann on Capitol Hill on Thursday.

Should the G.O.P. avoid self-destruction by containing this fringe, then the president and his party will have to confront their real problem: their identification with the titans who greased the skids for the economic meltdown from which Wall Street has recovered and the country has not. If there’s one general lesson to be gleaned from Christie’s victory over Jon Corzine in New Jersey, it’s surely that in today’s zeitgeist it’s less of a stigma to be fat than a former Goldman Sachs fat cat, even in a blue state.

Update: Lou Dobbs to Quit CNN

By BRIAN STELTER AND BILL CARTER

Lou Dobbs, the longtime CNN anchor, said Wednesday that he is leaving
the cable news channel effective immediately.Robert Caplin for The
New York Times Lou Dobbs, above, at the anchor desk at CNN's New York
studio in 2006, said Wednesday that he is leaving the cable news
channel effective immediately.

Lou Dobbs, the longtime CNN anchor whose anti-immigration views have
made him a TV lightning rod, said Wednesday that he is leaving the
cable news channel effective immediately.

"Some leaders in the media, politics and business have been urging me
to go beyond my role here at CNN and engage in constructive
problem-solving," Mr. Dobbs said just after 7 p.m., suggesting that
he would remain involved in the civic discourse, but perhaps not on
television.

"I'm considering a number of options and directions," Mr. Dobbs added.

Wednesday's program will be his last on CNN, one of his employees
said earlier in the evening.
