Yeah, That's Some Very Kinky News! The Kind You Don't Bring Home to Moth-ahhh!

Pretty much a lock for your must-see video of the day comes from The Daily Show, where naughty, naughty Sam Bee waxed Sapphically about being a cable-news "NILF Hunter." It's pretty much perfection, especially the altogether trenchant description of MSNBC's "dirty over-30" news vixens.

Your Eat The Pressers, have, in other online incarnations, a long and largely uncelebrated history of mocking the warning that came from Slate's Jack Shafer of the coming of a blindingly blonde "Aryan sisterhood" of news anchors, but after watching Bee's piece last night, it was hard to ignore how heavily blondes figure in cable news networks' arsenal of sensuality. Don't be surprised if Campbell Brown is spotted buying some Feria 110.

In the interests of fairness and balance, we can only hope that Bee's beau, the tastefully named Daily Show correspondent Jason Jones, offers us a similar take on Brian Williams. He never lets the ladies' spirits down!
