I agree with Jackie that we all need a little laugh, and that was a great way. It is going to be a scary year, I agree. Amanda, I don't know where people are, but I thought this would've got some comments. Fox News, don't take this clip and find a way to make it political, it's just a joke!! And don't forget the "hand sanitizer."

Rob,
Other than your & Brian's posts, it has been very quiet this week. Have all the other correspondents abandoned us?

Thank you Brian is good to laugh. Watch out Fox news might be attacking you next as your rating go up. Let's face the facts your the best, honest, non-bias news show today. PBS pulled in fast but your worldnews report overs it all. It's nice to see you realized and being yourself. Keep putting those clips on your blog as it is really late for that show. I really wish you go back to SNL it was one I couldn't stop laughing. This is going to be a busy year for you and your team with news that most Americans wont like as the civil war in Iraq goes full scale and most likely Al Sadr steps in the PM seat. I'm watching the other world leaders reaction to the Bush push for control. Now Gates wants more troops in Afghan, where are we going to get them as no country will join in this mess that Bush created. Sometimes I think of this like a parent and a child. The child gets in a big mess and goes to the parent to get him/her out of it because of course the kid thinks the parent is wiser. Thanks again for the laugh I needed it.
