Remember Herman Cain? Jon Stewart does, and on Tuesday night's Daily Show he looked at the possibility that candidate 9-9-9 will once again seek the GOP nomination. Cain has suggested that he'll run again if he believes that it's God's will — and Stewart really wants Cain to run. So what's a lapsed Jew to do? "God, would you meet me at Camera 3, please?" he asked. Watching Stewart fake-pray will either make you laugh or cringe (or both), but after he decided pleading with God was futile, Stewart hit upon the next best thing. --Peter Weber
