Daily Show guest host John Oliver tonight took on the social progress (or lack thereof) towards gay marriage rights in the United States and around the world. Between mocking Pat Robertson‘s odd phrasing and the rumors of a “gay lobby” at the Vatican, Oliver saved his sharpest barbs for the violent anti-gay protestors taking to the streets in France, marching in gaudy pink grab, leading Oliver to ask, “How is it that France’s anti-gay protests look so much gayer than our pro-gay protests?”

1. The "Daily Show" is in good hands while Jon's gone -- John Oliver is great!

I laughed out loud at Pat Robertson.

Back in the 70's, the "Bob Newhart" show had an episode about a French psychologist & his wife visiting the Newharts for a week. The comedic theme for the episode was the French couple's open marriage & the Newhart's reactions to it. The husband had multiple mistresses, including their maid, but when he discovered that his wife had one affair, the husband was outraged & threatened divorce. Oh, the irony. John Oliver's hilarious irony about the French protesters made me think of that episode.
