Be sure to check out The Colbert Report’s segment on the Sanchez-Baca "Whore"-gate controversy, titled "CALIFORNIA VALUES WATCH". Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez is Paris (Hilton). Her sister, Congresswoman Linda Sanchez, is Nikki (Hilton). Congressman Joe Baca is Nicole Richie. And Speaker Nunez is Lindsay Lohan!
Get the Kleenex out ’cause this clip is hilarious!
Following that, is another tear jerking clip on Newsom’s affair with his campaign manager’s wife, titled "SAN FRANCISCO TREAT", or should we say "SADDAM FRANCISCO" TREAT!

The funniest clip was Loretta’s sister Linda admitting that Loretta is The Paris Hilton of the family. I think everyone can read between the lines there.

Yes, very funny. I love Stephen Colbert. Jon, you do realize that this show is a “parody”, right?! He’s not really on “your team”. It’s kind of a case of “he’s not laughing with you, he’s laughing at you”.
And politicians with a sense of humor often will go along with the joke (e.g. Linda’s comment about Loretta being the Paris of the family). She was just going along with the joke–nothing too heavy there.

Wait a second! Stephen Colbert is not on our side? Are saying that a show on The Comedy Channel is being made strictly for entertainment purposes?
I bet Jon is very thankful you pointed this out to him! Keep giving Jon great advice, I can’t imagine how he has gotten by without your help.

Hey, Jon can handle my “great advice”–don’t worry about it, Sean.
By the way, yes Comedy Central (not “The Comedy Channel”) is “comedy”. The irony is that there is much more truth there than on Fox News.

Sean: Just to clarify, I really was just joking around and teasing Jon in a very light-hearted way that he would get. I know that he knows what Stephen Colbert is all about. Have a good day!
