Did anybody catch when Anderson Cooper said that Jon Stewart will mock Wolf Blitzer?

CNN has become famous (or infamous) for hauling out a bevy of touchscreens, magic walls, computer simulations and -- in its most notorious move -- even holograms of its own reporters. On Tuesday night, Wolf Blitzer proudly unveiled the network's newest way to explain how a caucus actually works: a group of small, faceless CGI blobs that Cooper called "Weebles" in a reference to the egg-shaped children's toys.

Cooper seemed two seconds away from rolling his eyes at any moment. As Blitzer finished up his tour of the blobs and their movements, he said, "If you miss any of this you can see it later on 'The Daily Show' with Jon Stewart when he ruthlessly mocks you."

"Pretty cool, don't you think?" Blitzer said.

"Uh...yes!" Cooper said hesitatingly. "I hope the Weebles are going to show up throughout the evening."

The Daily Show reaches more viewers than Chicken Noodle Nuze these days...and a younger one. It's PR gold...the old "say good, say bad, just spell the name right". Plus their egos love being a target...that means they're "hip"...
