During our worst disaster, this may be the most brilliant Daily Show yet.
He is hitting on it all - that Bush must be held responsible, that the media is finally doing its job, that all of the Federal effort is not on rescuing people, but saving Bush's reputation....

Great lines - we need to fight the water "here" so we don't have to fight it "there"

The alphabetical list of 26 potential disasters (must see!)

Simply brilliant.

4. Damn! They're doing a repeat here.
Probably too controversial for SoCal.

5. John does not think this is funny - he is covering the tragedy as
best he can. He must be on fire inside. This is must see TV for the entire country

8. Jesus. He's hitting ALL the points.
The timeline. The "nobody could've imagined" bit. FEMA's incompetence. The lack of preparedness for a terror strike. EVERYTHING.


Why the hell can't our Dems do the same?

9. But he should not let Chaney, Rice, etc off the hook - hard hitting stuff

12. I hope that the major anchors on CNN, MSNBC, etc
are Daily Show viewers - they could learn so much from seeing the absolute masterpiece just pulled off by Jon Stewart.

14. That was fantastic
What a challenge that must have been. But they hit it out of the park. Other than the Lewinski anatomy jokes (which I thought were over the top and pointless) they were spot on. Brilliant.
