“—just one sentence—”

Okay, maybe I do wish we still had cable. This, from The Daily Show last night:

White House officials are telling me it strikes them as a little nitpicky. If it turns out that instead of Saddam Hussein trying to buy uranium for nuclear weapons, Saddam Hussein was not trying to buy uranium for nuclear weapons, I mean, that’s a one-word difference in a long, long sentence.

—Thanks to The Note.

    Best line of that show:

    Bush: There are some people who would like to rewrite history. (Pause of 10 seconds). Historical revisionists. I like to call them historical revisionists.

    Stewart: Bush has a way with stringing together sounds to convey meaning. (Short pause). Words.

    There was also a great interview with Jon Stewart on Now last night; the transcript is available here.

    The Daily Show is the best TV going and I waste a bundle on cable just to get it and Martin Short's show. He even does serious stuff on occasion, like an interview with Gary Hart a couple of days ago. Far more credible than the *real* news, plus leaves ya all smiley!
