VIDEO: Stephen Colbert destroys Laura Ingraham and her "Obama Diaries"

This is amazing: Stephen Colbert destroys the entire premise of Laura Ingraham's bestselling (if painfully ludicrous) The Obama Diaries while encouraging viewers to buy it. She's got that Dan Quayle deer-in-the-headlights look by the time it's over. "It is the most banal turns of phrase," he says, referring to Barack Obama's alleged diaries but actually zinging Ingraham's weak prose.

Get ready for the second round of “Meet Rand Paul” on the cable news shows. Just a few weeks after the Kentucky Senatorial candidate was accused of being too Libertarian after criticizing the Civil Rights Act, his opponent, Jack Conway, is now claiming he’s not Libertarian enough. The charge? Paul, who strongly opposes government handouts, receives a large amount of Medicare and Medicaid payments from his ophthalmology practice. These are pretty damning accusations. If there’s anything in politics that’s worse than being called a racist, it’s being called a hypocrite.

BILL O'REILLY, HOST: In the "Miller Time" segment tonight: Dennis is worked up about three things, so let's get right to the D-man, who joins us from Los Angeles.
All right. Oil spill, and you know, where you live off the coast of Santa Barbara, you've got the big oil derricks out there going up and down and this and that. So what's your take on this whole deal?

DENNIS MILLER, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Well, I find NIMBY-ism unbecoming, so I'm glad the oil well's there. We've got to get power from somewhere, and they light them up at Christmas so that it looks nice, so it's fine with me.
I think — I think what this comes down to is President Barack Obama seems to have a sign on his desk that says, "The buck starts here." And this is turning into a Benny Hill sketch, Bill, and I don't understand your reticence. I think you disparage him in an odd way when, for the first time in the history — and what have we had 44 presidents — he is going to be the one who doesn't get blamed for everything. Every president gets blamed for everything.
O'REILLY: I'm trying to be fair here. You know me.
MILLER: I guess, I guess. But it looks like you're contorting yourself, Billy. I don't think any of these...
O'REILLY: I'm not contorting. I'm not contorting.
MILLER: All right, fine. I'm just telling you my observation is presidents get blamed for stuff. And if this goes through August or Christmas, I bet you there will be a day somewhere in there where you'll start to get bugged by him a little.
