Tense pairings: 1) MAHER / COLBERT. 2) Rachel / Nicole WALLACE.

Last night was not so dramatic as a (the/only?) previous time, with MAHER just being merely somewhat withholding in guesting on Stephen, who again went totally needy for a good relationship with him, dropping almost all comedy to try for it. Is it because Stephen wears his Catholicism on his sleeve (although he throws plenty of darts at it)? Or is MAHER threatened or just a jerk?

As for Rachel and WALLACE, on all the "special coverages" on election nights with Rachel next to The Wedding Cake Dude (WILLIAMS) who appears to be playing Daddy to both of them, with both of them giggling at all his witticisms, it appears that Rachel and WALLACE detest the crap out of each other, which is fine with me.

2015:
Cardinal Dolan one of the last men standing at anti gay group summit
Cardinal Timothy Dolan will still participate at a controversial religious summit later this month after other headline speakers dramatically withdrew after learning of the group's rigidly anti-gay views.

The Legatus summit, founded by Domino’s Pizza founder Tom Monaghan in 1987 to network Catholic business leaders, is scheduled for January 29-31 in Naples, FL.

One such article stated, “Along with masturbation, fornication, and adultery, homosexuality is a selfish act that cannot fulfill the divinely ordained purpose of the reproductive powers.”
