4. well, that segment lasted about six minutes. now he's on to bashing

he certainly seems to be spending a LOT more time on them than on the repub candidates, doesn't he

I know, it's a comedy show, and what he's saying is funny, mostly, but I'm not watching anymore. I tape every show, and I find myself fast forwarding a LOT lately
