I really like "Le Show" by Harry Shearer, which is broadcast by KCRW public radio and downloadable from their site. He presents an hour long monolog with musical interludes, and very acutely skewers the current political scene, with particular sarcasm towards republicans.
A regular feature is the "Apologies of The Week" where he recounts the various public apologies made by public figures and institutions over the previous week.
Definitely a cut above the Colbert Report and the Nightly Show, both of which I find too hip and ironic for my taste. Shearer is more Bill Maher than Jon Stewart (and that's a good thing IMO).
The KCRW podcast page is www.kcrw.com/podcasts
Also, links to past and current shows for download can be found at Harry's site:
