White House Budget Director and DC "hottie" (he's not quite my type) Peter Orszag is making headlines for a mild sex scandal. Peter's whirlwind romance with ABC reporter Bianna Golodryga made headlines when he proposed to her after seven months of dating. But that wasn't the whole story.

Well, Jason Jones and John Oliver from The Daily Show are here to prove that the real competition was between the fans — battling it out for the title of American sports' douchiest fans.

On last night's show, Jon Stewart pondered whether gay people frighten Americans more than terrorists. Why else would Obama stall the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT), turning away openly gay Americans ready to fight for the country?
The official word from the Obama administration is that they have too much on their plates right now to figure out how to let gay Americans serve in the military.

Just like Jon Stewart, I was wondering what the heck must have gone through Bill Clinton's mind when he met North Korea's Kim Jong Il with hopes of securing the release of journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee. Well last night, the former president chatted with Jon about the whole ordeal. My favorite part came when Jon asked Bill about his role as Batman, since, you know, Clinton acts as an international superhero these days.

There's evidence that Jon Stewart is not just the most trusted person in news among laughing liberals. In a recent New York magazine article, neoconservative pundits says they too love the fake-news anchor for his intellectual curiosity.
Republican national-security hawk Cliff May was pleasantly surprised when he appeared as a guest on the program notorious for its cracks against the Republican party.

People won't stop talking about President Barack Obama's citizenship this week. News sources from Fox News to CNN are inexplicably giving air time to the so-called "birthers" — people who believe that the president was not born in the United States and that his official Hawaiian birth certificate is a fake. On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart explored the (comical) evidence supporting the theory that Obama is not only the first black US president, but also the first non-American president, while trying to answer the question I keep coming back to: "What is going on here?!?!"

Supreme Court confirmation hearings are typically boring, but Jon Stewart found a way to make Sonia Sotomayor's laugh-out-loud funny on last night's Daily Show. Jon took on Republicans, who "want to register their distaste for the nominee" without seeming "as racist as the nominee herself." He didn't spare Democrats, either, as a few of them got a tad bit emotional about the nomination.
