Al Franken On The Daily Show

29 Replies

The Prince of Fair and Balanced was on the
The Daily Show last night.
Al took the liberty of pointing out the hypocrisy of the Shrub wearing a flight suit and performing in his little aircraft carrier escapade when, in reality, he not only let his daddy pull strings for him to get into the National Guard so he wouldn’t have to go to Vietnam, but then, he didn’t even show up for duty, and went AWOL for a year!
I might have to break this up into highlights. But here’s the whole thing for now.
Be sure to buy Al’s Book too. I’m just starting it, and I already love it. Everybody I’ve talked to couldn’t put the thing down till they were done.
Enjoy!

This is from early February 2003 sometime. (Sorry I can’t be more exact!)
I forgot to link to this before, but with Arianna running for Governor in the CA Recall, it seemed relevant to make this available to you.

Brian Williams On The Daily Show

Here’s an interview with NBC News Anchor Brian Williams – The guy in line to replace Tom Brokaw on the NBC Nightly News after the 2004 Presidential Election Coverage.
Brian and Jon have a pretty interesting discussion about journalists and whether or not they “should” let people know about their own biases.
Brian says that he is a registered Independent and claims that he doesn’t even tell his kids or his wife how he votes so that they all have plausible deniability when they say they don’t know how he votes. He claims the Washington Post tells their reporters not to vote. I’m not sure how he knows this or how this could be verified, but I certainly wouldn’t work for a paper who told me not to vote, and I kind of doubt many of the journalists I read in the Washington Post would either. So I’m not really sure what he actually meant by all of that.
Anyway it’s an interesting interview.

Here’s an interview with Ambassador Joseph Wilson — the guy that’s been touring the circuit explaining how he discovered the Niger Uranium WMD situation couldn’t have happened as originally reported.
This is from the July 24, 2003 show.
This is a long interview, so I’ve made it available in its entirety and in two parts.
