The Russians are Going, the Russians are Going

So the inept spies that made Boris and Natasha seem like geniuses are on their way home: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/08/AR2010070803476.html?hpid=topnews. Newspapers and comedians across the country are mourning. Among them, now infamous Daily Show contributor Olivia Munn: http://www.oliviamunn.com/, who has gained notoriety for posing in Playboy and Maxim (in neither case nude) and for being an attractive comedian, from what I can gather. The feminist site Jezebel (http://jezebel.com/5570545/comedy-of-errors-behind-the-scenes-of-the--daily-shows-lady-problem) has turned this into a hubub about the boy's club nature of comedy and the Daily Show, though seemingly annoyed as much by Munn's attractiveness as the lack of female contributors to the show. In other news, women complain that they are underrepresented in the NBA and PGA. Oh wait . . .
