Lisa P. Jackson, the new administrator of the EPA and the first African-American woman to hold the post, appeared on the "Daily Show" last night. She was greeted by an eager Jon Stewart who opened with, "The Bush administration was there for eight years, had [the EPA] been used? Was there a possum in your keyboard?"
