got "grandma millie" on now

Enron: you can eat my ass! God can't help you now, you stupid old whore!

they played the real tape just before that, but I missed most of it

anybody see it last night?

the audience didn't know how to react to the real ones.....combination of stunned oohs/ahhs and a few laughs

thank you John, for doing what the "real media" REFUSE to do!!!!!!!!

1. Yeah, I saw it last night
The "real" parts of the recording were plumb scary: scary that folks are just so goddam mean and stupid.

The part he added was hilarious!

6. One thing about the tapes...
...I had read the transcript, but when you hear the tapes, it sounds like the one guy is kinda goading the other guy to say outrageous things, like he is TRYING to get the other guy in trouble. I imagine he (the goader) was the guy taping it.

Surely it will be on TDS site as an MPEG soon, so you can see what I'm talking about.

while he sat at the Pope's side. Hysterical stuff, fit perfectly with the vacuous expression on GWB's face and his stick up the backside posture.

11. yeah, saw it
georgie w/ the pope-why was he pursing his lips like a old woman? and he sure did look small next to the pope.

AND he was 15 minutes LATE for his papal audience.

3. " But without power how will I bake pies for all the little orphans?"
"Screw you, you stupid old whore!"

I seriously have not laughed that hard in weeks. That show is brilliant!

4. Yeah, that was a classic episode!
I couldn't tell if the tape on the California wildfires was real or made-up, to be quite honest. Part of me wants to believe that humans could never be that callous as to root for wildfires to destroy people's homes just to boost profits, but then my voice of reality sets in and I realize that human beings CAN be that callous.

10. don't worry......I tape every show
going to put them all together this summer, along with the bits from Letterman, which he does almost every night, that show clips of the idiot, making him look exactly like the idiot he is

if he'd done that four years ago, we wouldn't be in the spot we are today

that was my idea for Gore's campaign then.....just show clips of the moran, over and over....without comment; let him sink his own ship, just as he's doing now

9. Yea I saw it last night...
They had the three most offensive ones on. The forth one, "Grandma Millie" on the phone was a Daily Show original production. I think the studio audience was a little bit shocked by the whole thing. Even the bit where Enron just brushed it off with their Barnacle Bill statement. Hopefully, its another knot in the noose.

I Ass-u-me the tapes are real, since no one has denied them. But, who was stupid enough to let these recordings be made and how did CBS get them??
