The Daily Show

STEWART: It's great. I'm a big handover guy. I'm a big sovereignty guy. I love handing over sovereignty. I prefer to hand it over knowing who I'm giving it to, but I like the way this administration's doing it. They're just saying, we're just handing it over. Maybe it will be a raffle. Maybe it will be the eighth caller. We don't know yet. It's very exciting.

KING: Sort of like a lottery.

STEWART: That's exactly right because nation building, why not give yourself a challenge with this?

Anybody can build a nation.

KING: In other words, are you saying just walk away?

Just leave them or just...

i noticed that. maybe the alzheimer's is setting in...

Seems like Larry doesn't know when Jon's joking half the time.

oh come on, like Larry King ever has the faintest idea what's happening around him?

Will someone shut Michael Moore up and let the staff of the Daily Show do the next lefty-friendly documentary?

I miss Stacey Grenrock-Woods, Mo Rocca, and most of all, Nancy Walls. (Who I have seen eating with Steve Carrell at Banania in Brooklyn!)

I loved Nancy too. Mo Rocca has sold his soul for a couple of animal planet specials.

OMG samantha bee explaining the word 'taint' to the mormon lady...

I think she's kind of off her game lately.

Yeah, she's kind of lost all of her subtlety.

It is funny to hav a MORMONOLOGIST, and that was abt it.

FoxNews Daily Show bite has been canceled

This was the Joel Surnow-inspired "Half Hour News Hour", where he'd go on in interviews about how all them librul comedians were using the same talking points.

Again and again, is it a matter of projection, disingeniousness, or total fucking David Broder-level cluelessness?

if you don't remember what it was like. Try and spot which on-set producer laughs first.

"barack vs. tiger: who's more diverse" was kinda funny

"Dr. Jazz Hands". I love Larry Wilmore.

This show is more like Mad TV sometimes than the Daily Show, and not in "the good way."

obamas on it next week

on the half hour news hour, or on the daily show?

either way it'd be excruciating to watch, i am SURE.

John Oliver's report on Karl Rove's resignation the other night was killing me (in "the good way").

That "Mandela's dead" clip a few nights ago was pretty misleading, apparently, cuz Shrub went on to say "because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas."

Stewart shouldn't cross that line in pandering to his College Democrat studio audience. I can't imagine how much bodily fluid had to be mopped off the seats after Bill Clinton's latest softball interview there last week.

I thought the same thing, too. "The Daily Show" has really turned into that Mad Magazine parody of itself.

I mean, you got George W. Bush as president. Is it completely necessary to Fox up your clips to get a laugh?

That's still not the best-worded metaphor in the world; in fact, that is a statement you want to present as a similie rather than a metaphor.

The more I read about Evo Morales, the more I realize that even though Jon softballed him and make him look great, it took balls to put the guy on the show at all.

There he is on the right, next to Chavez and Castro, grinning like a little kid. Jon also didn't mention that his main social cause was and is coca farming... a touch controversial 'round these parts.

But still, this is a fascinating guy. Is he too nationalistic? Could he in fact be racist against mestizos and biased against the wealthier classes? What do you make of someone who once said, "The worst enemy of humanity is U.S. capitalism"; forms what looks more and more like an authoritarian government; and still increases his country's GDP and its stability, and is wildly popular? The wiki entry alone is thick, not to mention the sources cited.

Hmmm, indeed.

No, I have not been reading the news about Bolivia lately. So sue me.

monday night's episode (the first one i had watched in a while) had a dynamite joke about ahmadinejad and a few really good ones about giuliani.

it'll never reach it's 2004 election/colbert/helms/corrdry-era peak, but show's still really really funny.
