Kerry on 'Daily Show'
Topic: Miscellaneous 8:14 pm EDT, Aug 26, 2004

] Earlier, before being clawed by Kerry's reps, we spoke to
] "Daily Show" executive producer Ben Karlin, a charming
] man who did not take offense at our questions and who
] promised that the Comedy Central program would try
] especially hard to resemble an actual TV news show
] tonight during its Kerry encounter.
]
]
] "All of us [on 'The Daily Show'] are just blown away by
] the turn the campaign has taken," Karlin said. "We cannot
] believe that this is what is being talked about at this
] juncture. It's so astounding to us. We are trying to work
] through our amazement and to conduct a meaningful
] conversation absent of incredulity, because [the
] interview] is not going to go anywhere if you just say,
] 'What the [expletive] is going on?' "
]
] "If you just want to pinpoint the success of the
] Republican Party and Bush, this is a perfect case study,"
] Karlin continued, "because George W. Bush has put a
] moratorium on talk about his behavior under the age of 40
] and everyone [in the press] is abiding by it. 'Were you
] or were you not an alcoholic or did you just have a
] drinking problem?,' 'Were you or were you not a drug
] abuser?' Meanwhile they're debating whether [Kerry's war]
] wounds drew blood
or were they superficial, or occurred
] in the same day, or whether he shot a guy wearing a toga.
] . . . How is that possible?"

This whole thing is so stupid its sickening, and its nice to see the Daily Show weigh in on it. (Bold is mine)
