Entitled bastard Denis Leary did damage control on The Daily Show last night in light of his "your kid isn't really autistic, he's just lazy" comments. You see, this was all the New York Post's fault, because his quote was taken out of context. Denis is totally in the right here, y'all. And, if you weren't convinced, he busts out the ol' "I have an autistic friend" excuse, and no one can argue that.
His senile ramblings begin around the 18-minute mark. Judge for yourself, but we still think he's a d-bag.
Human grease trap Bill O'Reilly appeared on the ever-popular Daily Show last night to goofily spar with Jon Stewart and show how he can be "with it, like the Negroes." No, he didn't say that, but you know he was thinking it in his fat, two-bit head.
For a good 10 minutes, the two polar opposites mocked one another in an awkward dance of an interview that can be summed up like this:
O'Reilly: You liberal queers in New York don't know the "real America."
Stewart: You sure are stupid, huh?
Sure, we suppose it's sort of funny to see Stewart grill O'Reilly about how his beliefs are absurd, but why give this man more airtime than he already gets on Fox News? Especially if you're not going to really run him over the coals for being a detestable piece of garbage.
The first part's above and the second is after the jump.

Just to make sure he squeezed the most TV time he possibly could out of the day, Barack Obama made an appearance on last night's episode of The Daily Show. It's fun watching politicians and journalists get interviewed by comedians — they never know how to respond to their jokes.
Barack Obama is making a repeat appearance on The Daily Show this Wednesday guys!
The interview, combined with the highly anticipated(?) 30 minute infomercials Obama bought time for on NBC, Fox, and CBS tomorrow, means that ABC is the only major network (besides the CW, which only counts if you are voting Chuck Bass for prez) not featuring anything Obama-related in their prime-time lineup.
So what possible reason is there for ABC not airing a Barack-tastic Wednesday?
Comedy Central's first attempt at black (as in African American) comedy following Dave Chappelle's untimely 2006 departure, Chocolate News, premieres tomorrow night. In the same vein as prime time heavyweights The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, Chocolate News will attempt to mock news of the day with a wry, liberal bent. From what I've seen, it's not going to work.
Michelle Obama, whom Jon Stewart jokingly referred to as a "known associate of Barack Obama," made the talk show rounds yesterday, hitting up Larry King Live and The Daily Show. On the latter, she said that she prefers not to watch the debates because she gets "nervous." She also described Cindy McCain as cordial and said that reporters and commentators makes much ado about nothing when they analyze handshakes and snubs. She has to say that, though.
DO YOU HAVE TO LET IT LINGER? "Smartypants magazine editor to CNN: If Comedy Central can do it, why can't we? That was a good part of New Yorker editor David Remnick's argument to Wolf Blitzer about the controversy the current issue of the magazine has whipped up by portraying Barack Obama and his wife as a couple of gun-slinging, bin Laden-loving terrorists on its cover. Remnick likened what the magazine has done to what 'The Daily Show' and 'The Colbert Report' do every weeknight on television. He said the point of the cover was to satirize the many right-wing rumors and innuendoes that have spread virally about the Democratic candidate."
The Daily Show is kind of back, sputtering through the motions the way only an entity confident in its sycophantic fan base could.
Even before the strike, we hadn't seen the show in months, so we're not sure if this clip is any worse than the usual. It's better than Leno with writers, but that's not a compliment. Enjoy?
