especially those from the Daily Show. Stewart, Noah, Colbert and Bee all eschew the softball questions and go right for the core.

And it's turning out to be true now more than ever. A couple of weeks ago Stephen Colbert had a political guest 4 out of 5 days in the week. Last night he had Bernie Sanders, Seth Meyers had Elizabeth Warren and Trevor had Omarosa who is definitely making news. And I have to include Jimmy Kimmel with them as well, he also has political guests and appears to have gotten into it with Trump. Johnny Carson joked about whoever was president, but it was good natured ribbing. The late night guys now are serious - and they're involved with and actually making news!

Go Omarosa. I am kind of loving this right now.

Thanks Rhiannon!

Call me mad, but I am kind of starting to like Omarosa. Her last bit of advice was spot on.

I know she was long-time friends with Trump, but if she can help bring him down, I'm on her side!

I checked out Amazon and her book has a 5 star rating w/ 31 reviews. I think one or two people trashed it, but everyone else really liked it.

Revenge can be so sweet!

But if she's making him panic, that's good enough!
