4. To sum it all up
Be VERY afraid to vote for Kerry.

But don't be that afraid so that you won't vote for Bush. :D

5. Completely lampooning Tom Ridge
Edited on Thu Jul-08-04 10:06 PM by sandraj
Stewart is interspersing clips of Ridge's news conference this morning with sarcastic commentary.

Stewart's interpretation of the terror alert:

"We want you to be afraid enough to not vote for John Kerry, but not so afraid to not vote for President Bush."

(or something like that)

Hilarious.

11. "Hire more musicians..."
Edited on Thu Jul-08-04 10:10 PM by troublemaker
That's a flashback to a time when we had a culture! First rate political comedy ala Lenny Bruce.

14. I knew it would happen. The baby has changed Jon
Something in him is different tonight. The knife is sharper. The comedy is more cutting. The laughs are a little more nervous.

Mark these words, Jon Stewart will play a huge role in this election, and The Daily Show will never be the same.

21. I kinda agree
Perspectives change when you have a child that has to live in this world after you're gone.

I would not be surprised at all to see Stewart introduce a whole new realm of Daily Show "activism."

Stewart has always been more of a media critic/humorist than a hard hitting lefty partisan. Having a child could change that dynamic slightly.

26. SNL mercilessly lampooned Bush Sr. back in
1992. I think the Daily Show has done the same, and will continue to do the same, to Junior.

18. This is a MUST see episode
You will not believe it.

"They need to think outside the coffin" instead of "They need to think outside the box" in a discussion of how there are not enough musicians to play at the funerals for our service men and women.

29. Once in a while
something pisses him off so much he doesn't stick with his schtick. The fact that it's only once in a while makes it all the more effective.

27.  25% get the joke. 75% vote for Bush out of fear.
The republicans are trying to scare people into voting for Bush in order to protect the country. It might work, people see the republicans as better defending our country. I know it's not true but a HUGE percentage of the people do.

30. I disagree I don't think 75% are buying it, the tide has turned.
If you look at internet poll numbers then Bushco has the support of maybe 35%. Yes I know that they are not scientific but I remember back in Jan. We were only getting like 40%. We are going to win!

31. Lou Dobbs poll on CNN says Terror Warning is "Political"
not a real terror alert.

Everyone's waking up!

A while ago I thought Chris Mathews had turned the corner and was beginning to really cover the Bush disaster, but he's become a whore again.
