My Brother is awesome. The Vice President? Not so much.

Last night my brother, Bob Mancini, coach of the Saginaw Spirit junior hockey team, made his second appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report.” He kicked some comedic ass with Colbert.

It’s funny but some are turning to Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report” to get their unfiltered news. Now it looks like the Comedy Central Blog, Comedy Central Insider, might be scooping other news outlets on actual news.

The CC Insider/InDecider has just heard more rumors (see earlier posts) from a SECOND reliable source that Dick Cheney will be stepping down as Vice President and will be replaced as Vice President by Condoleezza Rice. And now we’re hearing that she would like to be on the ticket as the GOP VP candidate in ‘08.

According to our rumor-meister, John Negroponte will be filling Condi’s current position as Secretary of State. Negroponte is currently the Director of National Intelligence (the first person ever to hold the few-years-old position) and the former US Ambassador to Iraq.

Laugh if you want but as Crooks & Liars points out, the Comedy Central blog predicted (correctly) Rumsfeld’s resignation.

Maybe that’s why the VP has been so grumpy lately.

Also, I started a post yesterday about Dick Cheney’s reaction to Wolf Blitzer’s question about his gay daughter’s pregnancy. He called the question “out of line” which made me wonder, does he realize he belongs to the party that asks these “out of line” questions of average Americans all the time? Does he realize that just like he loves his daughter very much and is looking forward to his new grandchild so do the parents of gay men and women all over this country? Or is he too busy passing judgement from his ivory tower to notice? Jon Stewart nailed the hypocrisy last night.
