JohnoliverIf it's Wednesday, it must be double-dose of John Oliver day. The Daily Show's resident cheeky wit has two very different interviews for your consumption.

The latest is from Denver's Westword Blog (thanks to No Fact Zone for the tip) with anecdotes from Oliver's first jittery days on the job to  his humiliation of Sen. James Inhofe (R – OK):

" . . . who had written this bill wanting English as the official, not the
national, language, which would have banned translations in hospitals.
And we did this joke with him… He’d said diagnosis wasn’t necessarily
always verbal. It could sometimes be physical.

"And I said, 'Oh, he
could mime it out. Like, he’s broken his arm – he could mime it out. Or
he could mime if he had a pain in his side. Or mime, ‘I’m allergic to
penicillin.’' And there was this long, excruciating silence, and about
two minutes later, all of a sudden, he had an appointment he’d
forgotten! Out of nowhere!"

Speaking of the Queen's English, check out a much more acerbic J. Oliver in this interview with Britain's Channel 4 News. See John's comparison of U.S. politics to a Japanese game show, why Barack Obama poses a particular threat to the other candidates and his impression of Hillary's joke-telling skills.

The Mohammed South Park Issue:

Just saw it, couldn’t find the general post location on Comedy Central, but let me say this.

You are ALL A DISGRACE TO THIS COUNTRY! I can’t believe you pathetic cowards didn’t have the resolve to support our Right to Free Speech. When all of you liberals get together for your tree hugging sessions, just remember that there are men and women who have fought and died for your rights.

You should all be deported to France with the rest of the surrender-prone cowards.

Matt & Trey are comic geniuses that keep your network afloat; but the US Military keeps you safe. I love the irony of you ripping Bush that coincides with your huge gaping vaginas that won’t celebrate the freedom his leadership & courage has provided you. Please leave this country so I don’t have to be embarrassed to watch television anymore.

F^*%$ you very much, cowards!
