He's made a couple of jokes about * and the Turkey Pardoning, and he's starting to lay into Tom Ridge. But he also said the Dem debates will show us "who's the right candidate to lose to George Bush", and made a draft-dodger joke comparing Dean to Clintstone.

I hope Dave hasn't been gotten to. I don't want my late-night viewing confined to that 30% of the Daily Show I find entertaining.
