Comedy Central hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert didn’t skip a beat this week, coming back from their Rally to Restore Sanity and\/or Fear <\/a>to satirize the mid-term elections (aka “Indecision 2010”) — including live Election Night coverage. <\/p>\n

Check out Colbert’s take on the results, including Oklahoma’s approved constitutional amendment to forbid the state’s courts to use Islamic legal precedents <\/a>(or any international law), at minute 2:20 of this clip. (I give Colbert “props” right back for incorporating puns about cows and musical theater.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
