Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, a DEMOCRAT, says he didn’t realize that Comedy Central’s The Daily Show was a comedy show. Okay. According to the Associated Press:

Interviewer Jason Jones pretended to stumble over Blagojevich’s name before calling him “Governor Smith.” He urged Blagojevich to explain the contraception issue by playing the role of “a hot 17-year-old” and later asked if he was “the gay governor.”

At one point in the interview, a startled Blagojevich looked to someone off camera and said, “Is he teasing me, or is that legit?”

Matt Margolis at GOP Bloggers compares the AP story at MYWAY.com, in which the governor is labeled a Democrat, with the AP piece after a CNN edit, in which he is not.

Notes Margolis:

Over something so trivial as this, CNN decided to hide Governor Blagojevich’s party affiliation. And we’re supposed to believe they’re unbiased?

The short answer is NO. We’re supposed to believe no such thing. CNN wears its color proudly, and that might be why few people tune in.
