i don't normally watch it, but caught it on a couple times in the last few days
it's weird to see them making fun of Obama now. it's like they are going to have to change the whole format of the show
i still think Obama winning was money in the bank for Rush
I never watch it or Colbert, but did on Tuesday night..
I noticed they both omitted the "white embracing right" from the prayer
The Daily Show kept showing clips from Bush and Obama speeches and how Obama was repeating a lot of the same things that Bush had been saying...

i know it's kind of a really far out thing for some people, but active and critical citizenship is not partisan first.
Rush made his gig during the Clinton terms, nothing is better for "El Rushbo" than a "PC" prez and his continual hype/fake paranoia of the Fairness Doctrine.

Heh. Leno came out last night and said "So, George Bush is no longer president...so, no monologue tonight!"Originally Posted by yermom
"The choices we discern as having been made in the Constitutional Convention impose burdens on governmental proceses that often seem clumsy, inefficient, even unworkable, but those hard choices were consciously made by men who had lived under a form of government that permitted arbitrary governmental acts to go unchecked." INS v. Chadha, 462 U.S. 919 (1983) (Burger, C.J.)
yeah, i'm just wondering how the audience may change
Bingo. It's the media's job to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." MSNBC could learn a thing or two from the Daily Show.
maybe 20-30 years ago
now their job is to make money
that's exactly right. when the "market" determines content, we have no one to blame but ourselves as "consumers".

I blame Hard Copy.
Well, crap.
not totally true. I listened to him in my working summers during college long before Clinton took office. he's always had a big audience.
I actually dropped him in the bubba years.
An observation on my part regarding the current direction of prime time TV?
It seems to point to our direction as a population when commercials used to be about cars, soft drinks, and what laundry detergent you used. No all the prime time commercials are about Cialis, Viagra, Enbrel, and other pharmaceuticals. What does that tell us about ourselves? We are obsessed with ourselves and attempting to find the fountain of youth? Every time Sally Fields comes on and tells everyone about her Boniva, I want to tell her not to let her jaw fall off. What a bunch of crap! JMO.
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

Comedy Central has been running "newsy" shows that make serious fun of the party in power since its inception.
And for most of that time their coverage has been more factual than anything on FOX or CNN.

the funniest part was when stewart pointed out that a lot of obama's speech had some almost verbatim similarities with past bush speeches. he then started making fun of how hypocrytical it was, that it was alright for obama to say these things but when bush did he got a new ***hole torn out.
its refreshing to see someone calling the media's bs
yeah!
