(Blogged by Brad from the road…)
Not sure if last night’s show was a repeat or not, I’ve missed quite a few while being on the road, but the interview with Bill Clinton (following the one with John Kerry a few days before) was quite a coup for the basic cable, low rent comedy show.
None the less, The Daily Show continues to offer the best coverage of Election ’04 available believe it or not. So it’s little wonder that so many are now getting the bulk of their news from it, according to a Pew poll released last week.
Surely Daily Show viewers are at least as informed about what the hell is going out on out there as Fox News watchers. And undoubtedly, more so.
Last night, Stephen Colbert’s interview with “The Democratic Party” was a stitch. My quick search of The Daily’s website didn’t turn up the video. So if anyone has a link to it, please post it in comments. (I believe the show will re-run today at 7pm, otherwise).
And while you’re there, Rob Corddry’s “Don’t Mess With Texas” piece was also a hoot. I was able to find the video for that one. Enjoy!
John Kerry shows up on the Daily Show…The Republicans send…Ed Gillespie. Nascar Dad’s wives don’t watch the Daily Show, I guess.
jaime,
When Bush walks off a stage after refusing to answer reporters questions screaming "fuck that guy" or some such i canonly imagine what he would do on the daily show.
His sadistic sense of humor is well known (the trifecta remark) and i think he would go simply apeshit at the simplest of questions.
