I loved Gupta's needless specificity here. "Dead bull penis." There are other ways to serve it? "Russian dog penis." Yeah, you have to get that when it's in season. Colbert cuts the clip short, but Gupta cleverly goes on to say that there are "stiff penalties" for dealing in endangered dicks.

John Conyers' opposition to Gupta, detailed in a letter to colleagues and referencing a Paul Krugman column, stems less from dongsnacking than from Gupta's fact-challenged attack on Michael Moore's Sicko. Conyers also cited Gupta's lack of qualifications.

Here's the Gupta-Moore feud, in all its glory:

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
