The Daily Show and Letterman taking on the Rightwing
Last night was great! The Daily Show calling out Hannity and Colmes was priceless. Letterman makes harsh jokes about the administration on a daily basis. Thank god that they are on our side. I just wanted to start an appriciation thread on how wonderful they are. My Nielson ratings week starts today and I will happily give them my points, the only little way I know that I can pay them back for truely watching out for our country.

1. you going to support them when they crack wise
about president Kerry or Edwards? Wait until the nominee is chosen and then they start poking fun. Will you still support them in their efforts?

Not sure why so many people get flustered when someone tells a joke about a Democrat.

Like I always say:
If you can't laugh at yourself, how can anyone take you seriously.

I would rather people make fun of my President because he had consentual sex, rather than because he is a complete fucking moran.

Cheers
Drifter

2. Jon Stewart Has Become the New Cutting Edge
Every night, he just nails something or comces out with the perfect line. Watch it now, because it can't stay this way forever.

3. I Miss the Daily Show
But I'll be damned if I give Comcast another red cent of my money. And $40/month is a lot for the little TV that I watch.

5. Stewart and Letterman are democrats! They are fighting the good fight
They will not "turn" on the nominee, they want this administration gone as much as the rest of us. This is an appreciation thread.

7. right. (wink wink)
I'm sure they will turn a blind eye to anything "goofy" tht the dem nominee does or says. Gimme a break. They will make a joke whereever they can, which to me is just fine.


Maybe they are democrats and would llike to see this admin. gone but they have jobs as entertainers to do first.

8. You can get Dish Net for a little more than half that
An almost unlimited number of channels if you wish. Get away from cable.
