No. 1: Blitzer Humiliates GOP Rep. McHenry
Wolf Blitzer made GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry look foolish on CNN by exposing McHenry’s baseless charges that Democrats were orchestrating Foleygate. (It’s actually a “Daily Show” clip, and Stewart nails it, too.)
No. 2: Andrew Sullivan on GOP Homosexuality and Hypocrisy
Conservative blogger and gay activist Andrew Sullivan visited “The Colbert Report” to discuss the GOP’s double standard when it comes to homosexuality: “They can’t pretend to be tolerant in private, and intolerant in public.

The blogger and commentator, who is gay and Catholic, explained to CNN's Fareed Zakaria on Sunday why the Catholic Church shouldn't have any problems with same-sex couples getting married.
A look at the day's political happenings, including Bain Capital and Mitt Romney's connection to Big Tobacoo and why a Republican lawmaker thinks the death penalty is appropriate for kids who don't respect their parents.

Anderson Cooper has long been rumored to be gay. For the most part, however, he's managed to keep his private life private and has never publicly addressed those rumors (not even in his memoir, released a few years ago). Until Monday, that is.
