And now, your moment of Zen

O'REILLY: Puppets can't vote, but these dopey kids who watch you can.

STEWART: They actually can -- in Florida, they can.

O'REILLY: Puppets can vote in Florida.

STEWART: As long as they vote Republican.

O'REILLY: And they haven't committed a felony.

STEWART: And they haven't committed a felony, that's exactly right.

More of the same here. As for the assertion that 87% of The Daily Show's viewers are intoxicated, isn't that the same proportion of all statistics that are made up on the spot?

I've said it before, but I really wish a British channel (preferable one that's available on Freeview) would show The Daily Show. Comedy Central would probably sell the rights for about 50p an edition, so it's not beyond the budget of most of them.

Update: Today's special bonus discovery is that Jon Stewart and the Daily Show team now have a book out: America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction and if you go to the American Amazon site for the book, you can find a rather amusing video sales pitch from Stewart himself.
