Great opening segment. First, Marcus “so gay he sh!ts pinkberries”\* Bachmann is pilloried, then Jon goes through Repression Therapy with a very special guest star. [Full episode here](http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/wed-july-13-2011-matthew-richardson), but it’s the first segment that is the brilliant one. \*Jon Stewart’s line ---

Saw this one last night and actually watched it again this morning. I’m not a huge fan of the therapist, but it was a good bit and he was really funny there. ---

“Buys Brawny paper towels for the packaging” Didn’t see that one coming. ---

I thought the guest star was pretty stiff, so I turned it off and did something else. ---

The first time I heard that guy speak, I thought “_There’s_ somebody who has a wide stance.” ---

You can actually see Jon’s face swell a bit after Seinfeld hit him. I think that really was a stage slap that went wrong. (Between that and the cutting himself Stewart may be getting hazardous duty pay soon.) ---

Not having, or needing, a functioning gaydar I wasn’t too sure when I saw that video of him walking through a hotel lobby. But that dancing clip? :eek: ---

There should be a gay pool to place bets on how long it takes before somebody comes forward to remind Mr. Bachmann of their tryst in the local bathhouse. ---

I’m definitely stealing the term “Center Square gay”.
