All You Need To Know: 9/7/08 Edition

Happy post-National Convention weekend, Nation. Stephen’s had oodles (yes, I just typed oodles) of news to report these past couple of weeks, and with the election less than two months away, he’s going to have oodles more. Unfortunately, the show is dark this coming week and so we’ll just have to watch the news and wonder what the Report writers will come up with next week. Enjoy the recap!
