I haven't seen anything about this here or on Atrios, but I really need to share the glow and discuss with others, so here goes:
Last night on The Daily Show interview, John went totally smack down on a republican senator from Texas. It started off okay, John was friendly and would have given the guy a pass. But then the senator gave the "1st and 4th most liberal senators ever" line. John asks where that information comes from. The senator gives a very bush-esque mumbling "lots of groups, every one" John pushes half a dozen times, with this guy totally talking out his ass.
After a painful few minutes, John says, "NO" then continues to tell the senator 1. where the information comes from (National Review), 2. that Kerry is right of Kennedy, and Edwards right of the mean democrat, and 3. that neither party should spew such vile.
It was beautiful. I haven't seen a "real interview" like that in the past four year! Imagine what John could do with Bush?
There is no video yet on comedycentral.com, sorry.
