[XemaSab]

1. Amen, Brother

Amen.

[Carni]

2. That was highly entertaining

I have to be honest I just laughed my head off.

[liberal N proud]

3. The bu$hbots actually cheered at the mere mention of 3000 people dying?

Sick people.

[Pacifist Patriot]

12. Proof that insanity is contagious?

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

34. They were watching the applause sign behind Bush, but off camera

Little trained mice, cheering on cue, booing on cue. Makes me proud to be 'murcan.:sarcasm:

[waiting for hope]

4. Thanks!

Couldn't stay awake long enough to watch.....just brings home how desperate the Rupukes are.

[AlCzervik]

5. spiffy!

[buddysmellgood]

6. It's that kind of honest assessment that makes the Daily Show a news

source. People get the news from them because the networks don't cover the real issues.

[AIJ Alom]

7. Yes it truly is remarkable that a comedy show holds this administration

and its congressional allies more accountable than the real news outlets. Even more amazing is the fact that they are generating laughs with the truth. The sad times we live in, I hope they soon change.

[NoAmericanTaliban]

8. Saw this last night. Will become a Daily Show classic.

liked the part where they show Bush looking around the WH for WMD & laughing about it.

[Hav]

9. .

That Bush freeper rally was..well remarkable.
It also showed what Repubs can do best. Lying, smearing, scaring the people, inciting hate. Nothing more.

[oc2002]

10. Keith Olberman's special comment last night was 1000x better though.

The only reason the Kerry story got traction for 3 days is because of the emense power of the right wing spin machine to create a lie, repeat the lie over thousands of channels, and never look at the facts.

This should be posted above the Stewart link on the home page.

[Skinner]

16. I agree about Olbermann.

Unfortunately, there was a glitch in our software, and I accidentally blocked myself from putting olbermann on the homepage. Elad is trying to fix it right now so I can get it up.

[stanwyck]

18. Yet, I believe TDS's take will resonate more

We know what we're going to get from Olberman. And he delivers. Bless him. I don't want him to change in the least.
But, fact it. Keith is preaching to the choir. And that's great.
TDS gets a diverse crowd. And a crowd that needs to be reached. And that needs to vote. If younger people would vote, we'd be one blue country.
TDS played this whole Kerry overblown story perfectly - with the right balance. At the end, the affair Kerry was squashed and effectively shown to be yet another case of rightwing flop sweat.
They're desperate. And that what TDS cleverly illuminated.
Taking nothing away from Keith. But where we'll win is with TDS and Letterman.
These middlemen are reeling in the middle.

[AIJ Alom]

19. I read the commentary...and yes it was that good. I should clarify

my last statement. At least we have Keith Olberman, a former sports commentator, as an honest media source.

[democrat_patriot]

11. Boom!

That show keeps me sane.

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. I do so love this forum. Thanks!

[Demeter]

14. I Used to Wonder What Could Ever Replace Laugh-In

now I know--Daily Show and Colbert. It took a while to get them up and running, but they were desperately needed!


And on the serious side, Keith Olberman steps in and fills some mighty big shoes.

(In a runnoff, though, I think Nancy Reagan would wipe the floor with Couric).

[berni_mccoy]

15. DAMN, that was AWESOME!

[Laurab]

17. K & R - Colbert did a great job, too

showing the silliness of the whole thing. Couldn't find a video on youtube, though, I guess they're being pulled as fast as they're being put up.

[bkcc]

20. Hilarious, but depressing.

Isn't it sad that the guys making jokes do a better job at showing the truth than the people who are actually supposed to be reporting the news?

[Caoimhe]

21. I wonder why view counts and ratings have been locked on it

:shrug:

[BlueEyedSon]

22. "You go to photo-ops with the sense of humor you have

not the sense of humor you wish you had, or the one you will have at a later date...."

:puke:

[The Count]

23. That's show biz, Jonny!" Indeed...

[SouthernBelle82]

24. The whole show was very good

[yeson2]

25. thanks...

for the laugh

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

26. That Comedy CD of John Kerry's really made me laugh...

And thanks for the new Video Forum, Skinner. Great addition to the site!

[valerief]

27. Great clip. Thanks. nt

[19jet54]

28. Makes me cry...

Humor, like Will Rogers, shows what idiots are leading or trying to lead our country?

"I don't care how little your country is, you got a right to run it like you want to. When the big nations quit meddling, then the world will have peace." Will Rogers

Oops, I guess I went too far back in history beyond the 2004 elections? Oh well, I guess nothing really changes...

[Cameron27]

29. God, bush looked absolutely manic

at that rally; and what's with his voice?

John Stewart at his best!

[bulletsandspikes]

30. Move DS to a major network.

I wish Daily Show was on a major network. The people, as blind, dumb and deaf, as they are need to see this.

[mac56]

33. Absolutely not.

It would lose all its punch on a major network. It would start to suck very quickly.

[HappySavage]

31. Where are the WMDs?

The Democrats really ought to consider making an ad using that clip of Bush "'looking' for the WMDs" and air it in all the districts/states with tight congressional races.

[robinlynne]

32. Fantastic!

[rpannier]

35. Nothing like cheering the death of 3000 people

But...that's the only thing scrub has going for him.
Manipulating tragedy.

[mhatrw]

36. Thanks. Great Video! n/t

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

37. 4:17 Chimp says we weren't in Iraq on 9-11when they attacked us.

:wtf:

No fly zones and cruise missiles fired from the Gulf, anybody?

:wtf:

And, um, er, it wasn't Iraq who attacked us.

:wtf:

[BruceMcF]

41. But, he's talking to 'his base'. They do not demand truth ...

... only truthiness. Iraq musta attacked us, because otherwise it would be pretty dumb for us to be there now, wouldn't it?

[ProudDad]

38. Funny how the pukes always seem to find a black guy

to stand just behind *'s right shoulder during these set pieces...

[Pharaoh]

39. Absolutely brilliant!

K&R!!!!!!!!!!:rofl:

[gtar100]

40. The "breaking story" was well planned to say a lot

He starts by talking about the story that the Iraqi PM pulled our troops away from looking for the kidnapped soldier - a very important issue. Then, true to life, the breaking story for the pugs...John Kerry! I think they jumped on this and kept at it partly to drown out the first story.

That was brilliant in commentary. John's reactions were spot on to the stupidity of the neo-cons.

[StrictlyRockers]

42. Some hilarious stuff here!

Happy to give this its 40th recommndation and a kick.

[Apollo11]

43. Watch The Daily Show online

You can watch all of The Daily Show on the Comedy Central website.

http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/index...

There are some short commercials. But it's legal (unlike YouTube).

Last night I watched the 3 latest editions. It's great!

So you don't need Comedy Central (or More4 in England).

If you have internet - The Daily Show can be seen anywhere! :-)
