The Obama campaign wasn't spared either, but most of Lewis Black's epic rant on The Daily Show this Tuesday evening was directed towards the lying Romney campaign and their ridiculous "you didn't build that" ad and his hypocrisy on the subject.

Campaigns have finally arrived in the 21st century. They can produce bulls**t at the same rate as actual bulls.

...

So to be clear... running a business is something you do all by yourself. Running a four minute mile... that takes a village.

From this Friday evening's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:

Comedian Lewis Black, whose latest special is “In God We Rust,” sounds off on Rush Limbaugh’s role in the GOP’s war on women, Mitt Romney’s pre-existing pet problem and Rick Santorum’s anti-porn position. Black says he could understand if Santorum wanted to tax porn rather than getting rid of it, but concludes: “I don’t know what else he’s doing except wandering around, like, in the desert. It’s like having this weird prophet who’s kind of like in the wrong decade.”

Comedian Lewis Black is dumbfounded by Sarah Palin's first ad of the 2012 election season that features a man with an axe and a yawning grizzly bear.

"What the hell was that?" MSNBC's Keith Olbermann asked Black after reviewing the ad Thursday.

"What I think is interesting is that after the edit, she shoots the grizzly from a helicopter," Black joked.

"It's unbelievable. I did every possible type of drug as a child and nothing prepared me for this, Keith. Even LSD in my wildest dreams could I have imagined," Black added.

In the new SarahPac ad, Palin's team strings together footage of various candidates she supported along with stock photos of a man chopping wood and a grizzly bear yawning.

"Across the country, everyday Americans are standing up and they're speaking out," Palin says in the video. "I'm confident and I am hopeful because this is our movement, this is our moment, this is our morning in America."

The video includes shots of senator-elects Rand Paul (R-KY) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) along with future representatives Renee Ellmers (R-NC), Sean Duffy (R-WI), and Susana Martinez (R-NM).

There is no mention in the video of the 17 candidates that Palin endorsed but lost anyway.

"What I do believe is she's actually not real," Black told Olbermann. "That's the only way that my mind can deal with it, that she's a fiction character come to life."

"You know she reminds me of if this was a movie this would be terrific, if it was a film it would be wonderful," Black contined. "The sad fact is that Jimmy Stewart would be a better leader and he's dead."

Comedian Lewis Black has a solution for dealing with the oil company responsible for spilling millions of barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico. Black believes the U.S. should put the same effort in to plugging the leak and cleaning up the spill that was put into attacking the oil-rich country of Iraq.

"I have a theory I've been postulating and I think you'll like this," Black told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann Wednesday.

"We went into Iraq because there was supposedly these nuclear weapons there. Now -- and that we might get attacked. Might. Now, we have BP, which is a multinational corporation, and they act like countries. I mean they basically are countries.," said Black.

"They, as far as I can tell, are attacking us with oil. And so I propose we declare war and invade them," Black suggested.

"They've got no standing army. We take over their buildings. We put the workers, their folks in internment camps and we just get their checks and do what we can with the money to solve the problem down there," Black said.

While outlandish, Black is not the first comedian to wonder why the U.S. could put so much effort into attacking Iraq but appears helpless when it comes to the BP spill. Comedy Central's Jon Stewart had similar thoughts Tuesday.

"It cannot be that the only thing our government is good for anymore is war. We have to at some point use the same urgency and preparedness that we brought to taking over other country's oil to cleaning up our own," said Stewart.

Lewis Black on Glenn Beck:

In one paragraph, Glenn Beck tied one of the most positive words in the English language to Hitler's genocide. It's "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon," except there's just one degree and Kevin Bacon is Hitler.

If Republicans can't give Lewis Black any evidence against Obama's health care reform, then at least do the honorable thing and confuse him.
