This is from the September 15, 2003 program.
Sorry for all the crap at the beginning of the clip — I’m sure Comedy Central won’t mind the plug. It was late, and sometimes I get sloppy, I guess…

Priceless Daily Show Coverage Of The Latest Voting Disenfranchisement Atrocity — Brought To You By The 9th District Court Of Appeals

This is from the September 24, 2003 program.
So I really do have another 8 clips in the kitty that will be going up today, but then this happened last night and I really felt that it demanded priority over the others.
Great real news coverage of the implications of this week’s decision by the courts by Jon before the comedy kicks in with a vengeance.
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when I saw this one. I think I laughed until I cried (for a lot of different reasons).
Why is the Daily Show the only “news” program to cover the real issues surrounding the decision by the 9th District Court of Appeals to knowingly disenfranchise millions of California voters?
I can’t answer that question. But I did stay up late last night to bring this to you today.

Daily Show On ABC News’ Depleted Uranium-Airport Security Experiment

ABC News upset more than a few apple carts last week when it announced it was able to sneak in some depleted uranium from Jakarta to see if it could fool customs. There actually hasn’t been as much as you would think about this in the news. Luckily, the Daily Show stepped in to tell us more about the details.

This clip follows this one. (Watch it first. It will make the clip below a lot funnier.)
