Daily Show On Offshore Drilling Debate: Bush Vs. Bush, Obama Vs. McCain

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart takes a look at offshore drilling and its proponents -- like George W. Bush -- and its opponents -- like George H.W. Bush.

On the sound of 50,000 Harleys:

"It's the sound of money being funneled to Saudi Arabia."

i don't get it isn't a buffalo chip cow crap? is he really calling his (lovely )wife cow crap?

[bmsrosmuc]

yep, great for the grass!

[JTyroler]

Has anyone seen the comprehensive energy strategy of the Bush-Cheney administration? In a nutshell, let the energy companies do whatever they want.

[MsIndependent2]

gotta love it -- McCain should forget running for President and instead, start his own show on ComedyCentra...afterall, he is a joke.

[Yasir]

Obama or McCain both of them seem in vain,
Hokama or just sane are they able to find their minds again.

[Rog49Thomas]

Inadvertnetly Jon Stewart has hit upon a fairly remarkable discovery.

When the President debates himself, he always wins.

Who would have thought?

[KOisGod]

Gatta love Jon Stewart. Maybe he'd agree to be O's VP.

30 mpg, 50 mpg, 70 mpg, 100 mpg .... Freedom

Did anyone video tape Cindy trying out for BuffaloChip?

[daddydamon]

ew

[derekc06]

actually she'd probably be a step up...

[Dynamohum]

Not only do viewers get a huge dose of the "REAL STORY", they get to gut laugh about all of it in its absudity. The Daily Show takes the daily news and makes it palatable, fair, truthful, balanced and many times RFLMAO funny. Bravo!!

[NewAmericanCenturySucks]

My only fear is that it also makes it acceptable. Had the anti-Vietnam War movement been given voice through the irreverent Daily Show - instead of the serious Walter Cronkite - would that war have ended sooner, or later?

I love the Daily Show. But I wish others who find American foreign policy as repugnant as I do started taking action as concrete as I have (boycott of U.S. economy). That the fun poked at your leaders takes the edge off of your dissent is almost disconcerting...

[eden4barack08]

So true! I don't want a President who makes me laugh, I need one who can seriously lead.

[Alkelly340]

Its just so great that year after year a show that is supposed to be a parody of real news gives better and more revealing coverage than the "real" thing.

[mrmetoo]

And this election is still close, Y? Its really amazing

[CrittersRTasty]

Yeah why would it be close? Oh, maybe because BOTH candidates flip flopped the same way?
Could it be that the candidates of BOTH major parties are full of you-know-what?

[ivegotblisteronmefingers]

NO
It's because the MSM still insists on portraying Sen. McCain as a maverick and a war hero as though it were a fact(as, the sun rises in the east). It works out better for them (ratings) if this campaign seems close.

[derekc06]

you're an idiot

[DCX2]

The election isn't close. In the popular vote, maybe. Look at the electoral college and...well...even in horse shoes this wouldn't count as close.

[PDXTransplant]

I don't like polls, but this guy has O winning.

[derekc06]

yeah saw this on olbermann... last night was it? night before? i dunno but yeah this guy already called it...

i won't get my hopes up yet... the karl rove's of the world could still steal this one...

[CrittersRTasty]

interesting site. thanks for sharing.

[jmsent]

McCain sucks the air out of any place he speaks, and Sturgis was no exception. This guy is unbelievably lame. If he wins, I'm seriously considering moving out of the country.

[CrittersRTasty]

I'd be willing to help you pack

[derekc06]

i know i just called you an idiot in the post above this but how about a group rate?

[anons]

a comedy news spoof is more informative than actual NEWS CHANNELS.....

it's funny... and extremely depressing

[debrouillard]

The man suggested his wife and prospective first lady join a nude contest and people suddenly everyone is surprise.
The guy has made it clear a long time ago what he things of his wife,yes he thinks she is a C U N T

[pie8ter]

She is a C U N T. If she knew any better, she would've married someone else.

[PDXTransplant]

You mean someone else's husband? ;o)

[ranchero42]

I find myself LOL when John McCain suddenly finds a way to identify something a crowd has in common with him, and the Miss Buffalo Chip thing is the lamest toe-in-the-water gambit yet. Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe he thought he was addressing a tax-conscious crowd at an outdoor restaurant, and people were yelling "show us your tips".
