Hey, Saturday Night Live! I have a funny comedy sketch idea for you! What if Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Bill Richardson and other Democrats went to a Halloween costume party? And their choice of Halloween costume directly related to their Presidential campaigns! Funny, right? Right?

Damn, you guys beat me to it. With some timely jokes about Bill Clinton's sexual proclivities, even! But I must say that I'm impressed, because you also worked in Barack Obama, wearing his Sexy Barack Obama costume. Well-played, SNL. Well-played.

These days it's always a bit disconcerting to see a comedy sketch with a right-wing bent -- not because anything's wrong with that point of view, but because political satire usually takes aim at the party in power. And that still isn't the Democrats. However, after the midterm elections, perhaps Republicans are running scared?

That's one explanation for this over-the-top reaction to the Iraq Study Group's findings. The report, released earlier this month, recommends a massive scale-back in troops and starting a dialogue with Iran and Syria -- and maybe Naked Gun director David Zucker really believes that talks with the Iranians will lead to ruin and despair. Depicting the President of Iran as a three-card monte dealer and Hitler wannabe is an extreme take on the subject, but Zucker is developing a reputation for needlessly over-the-top reactions.

Despite the lack of subtlety (and getting mad at the director of Airplane for not being subtle is like getting mad at water for being wet), the point raised is worth a thought. After all, we don't want him to be right -- especially if he's not wrong.

David Duke, former KKK leader and Ethnic Studies "specialist," discusses the Zionist conspiracy with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

The fact that David Duke is allowed to be a "pundit" on any subject anywhere is an amazing thing to me. Holocaust deniers are by and large, not funny and I would never encourage laughter AT the Holocaust. But, I'm just putting this out there... deniers of the historically proven genocide sound like absolute idiots, right? I can't listen to David Duke without a little chuckle at his expense. Part of me really, really wants to believe that at night Duke wrestles with all the overwhelming evidence that 6 million Jews were, in the words of Gawker, "gassed and stuffed into easy-bake ovens."

CNN should really get credit for keeping Duke in his place. Not only do they mention his KKK affiliation 11 times (by Duke's count), but they also keep juxtaposing Duke's live feed from Tehran with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad-- America's new nemesis-- because one Jew hating nut deserves another.

With the house turning over to the Democrats, the “Father” of our nation has to pony up to his father and a disapproving nation. In his Conservative news brief, Colbert discusses the Newsweek cover that our politically aware public couldn’t possibly ignore.

The first issue to hit the stands since the results of last week’s midterm election, the recent Newsweek cover depicts the presidential father-son pair with Bush senior as the dominating figure.

Though many bloggers and news publications have taken note of what this photo implies, Colbert brilliantly interjects subtle sarcasm-- via an imposing text box-- in his segment "The Word."

Watch as Colbert debates which “Father Knows Best”.
