Don't know if it warrants it's own thread, but you be the judge.
The Bush in 2000 vs. Bush in 2003 Debate, and the Cheney's Pants on Fire, are the only two that come close. Oh and Common Wisdom, goddamn that was some good journalism. The Daily Show: Where Fake News is More Real then Real News...um, sometimes...

Great segment from The Daily Show, as always. So very true.

Jon Stewart is a sexy bitch, baby.
It sucks that this is what the world has come to, but damn if TDS isn't your best shot at honesty. At least when they're messing with you, they tell you.

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts.

Uhh....Lincoln was a huge supporter of the idea that, during time of "national crisis," it was perfectly acceptable for government (and president in particular) to forgo those rights set aside by Constitution or otherwise.

That daily show episode was hilarious (and I happen to agree with the equation).
I liked the guy throwing the "metal object" at the fox news anchor in front of his house too. That was freakin great!

What made it even better was the inordinate amount of pleasure Jon Stewart got from that clip. Each consecutive time it was shown, I laughed more than the previous one.
