Santorum on The Daily Show tonight

[jane_pippin]

Thought I'd post this reminder for those of you who need time to set your Tivo/VCRs and get to the store for beer and snacks.

[clydefrand]

1. Tell us tomorrow or tonight what was said. Don't get this show.

[jane_pippin]

3. It would be my pleasure

I'd also bet that there will be plenty said on DU as it's happening and that the interview will be up on The Daily Show website soon after. (I'll post that too if/when it's up if nobody gets there before me)

[liberal N proud]

2. Will Stewart ask him about this?

Senator's new chapter of political risk
By Carrie Budoff
Inquirer Staff Writer

<snip>

And there he was Friday, on the first day of a publicity tour - which will bring him to bookstores in the coming weeks, as well as scheduled appearances on the Today show and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart tomorrow - talking up his ideas and shooing aside any suggestion that he was making trouble for himself.

"My staff {Gay Bobby} says I take a political risk every time I open my mouth and say what is on my mind," Santorum quipped, after signing copies at a suburban Pittsburgh bookstore.

Even so, he added, "my opponent has plenty of ad material. And, you know, I gave them a little more. Nobody has enough money to run all the stuff they'd like to run against me. So my feeling is, I don't worry about it."

His willingness to unload his thoughts comes as no surprise to supporters. But the timing has left some political pragmatists wondering, particularly now as he rebounds from a spate of critical publicity, most notably for his leading role in Congress to prevent the death of Terri Schiavo.

"The frankness with which he lays out his beliefs is sometimes difficult to deal with, with some of my people," said George Bochetto, a Philadelphia lawyer who raises money for Santorum in Southeastern Pennsylvania. "It is going to be tougher and tougher to raise money."

Santorum rebuts book criticism
Senator also stands by his controversial remarks about Boston's sexual abuse scandal
Saturday, July 23, 2005
By James O'Toole, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

<snip>

On Monday, the senator is scheduled to appear on the "Today" show, Fox News and, perhaps most improbably, "The Daily Show," with Jon Stewart, on Comedy Central.

Yesterday, at a taping of "KD/PG Sunday Edition," Santorum rebutted early criticism of the book, said that it pointed out the failures of both liberalism and conservatives in addressing poverty and expressed confidence in his re-election prospects for next year.

<snip>

On other subjects during the program, which will air at 11:30 tomorrow morning on KDKA-TV, Santorum criticized the Penn Hills school board for appealing a decision that the district could not recover tuition money paid for Santorum's children to attend a cyber charter school.

9. Thanks--sorry if it's poor form to post this

Just wanted all DU'ers to remember.

[Ian David]

10. Not a problem at all...

I was thinking of starting a new thread every hour, on the hour myself.

It's 2:00 PM. Santorum will be on The Daily Show in 9 hours

It's 3:00 PM. Santorum will be on The Daily Show in 8 hours

etc.

[jane_pippin]

13. Great minds think alike, so they say

But since I'm new I'll leave that to you

:toast:

[Ian David]

15. Welcome to DU, and feel free to take initiative on your own whenever n/t

[converted_democrat]

8. Thank you for the reminder!!!! I must run to the store and stock up on

snacks and alcohol!!!! I bet this will be good. Jon will be all nice at first and then BAM, he'll come down him like he does to every other Republican POS that comes on his show!!! I love the The Daily Show, it's the only way I can get my husband excited about politics.

[Ian David]

11. They tape at 5pm. I wonder if we can find someone to give us early info?

I would love to have an advance idea of what goes on.

Speaking of... am I missing a Puffy McMoonface Press Conference right now?

[converted_democrat]

12. You missed the press conference, it was at 12:30..............

But there will be another interesting press conference at 3:30 though. It will be Dem leaders asking about the AG and his role in treasongate. It should be good.

[PA Democrat]

14. Any time Santorum goes unscripted he says something incredibly stupid

Should be quite a show!
