Samantha Bee's "fake" townhall meeting was great !
With Frank Luntz as the color commentator, she was able to point the manipulative and Orwellian nature of Bush's townhall meetings on Social Security. She interviewed and rehearsed "potential" townhall attendees, just like Bush. She peeled the skin off the onions. Kudos to Samantha! :)

4. That was pretty awesome

It would definitely go into my Daily Show Hall of Fame. It was Bee's best work to date, IMO.

Luntz comes off as an exceedingly awful person.

5. Thanks for the alert.
She is brilliant. I have it recorded and will look at it tomorrow. I sometimes don't have time to se the Daily Show recordings (Democracy Now! comes first, then Malloy, etc.). No question that she is Verry smart and insightful.
