"Last night after
work I wanted to kick back and relax in front of the TV and then this
interruption [on screen: Bush saying, 'Since the horror of 9/11, we have
learned a great deal about the enemy. We have learned they are evil, and kill
without mercy']. I don't want to say anything, but didn't we learn that on
September 11th?" --Jon Stewart
"The President Bush’s
speech was a performance that was as redundant as it was perfunctory. Clearly
this president, even without a lead, is running out the clock. Say what you
want about his presidency, but after that speech, it is now 15 minutes
shorter." --Jon Stewart
"I am angry about
something else and it happens to be the subject of tonight's 'Word.' Missed
opportunity. The administration really let this one slip through their hands
[on screen: Like Osama]. Franklin Roosevelt famously said, 'We have nothing to
fear, but fear itself' [on screen: Also Said 'Put The Japanese In Camps']. But
these days, fear is the Bush administration's greatest ally [on screen: Only
Ally]. And for the past several weeks, they've been doing a great job
ratcheting up the national fear index [on screen: Currently At 'Holy Crap!'].
In a September 5th press conference, the president mentioned bin Laden 17 times
[on screen: Good For War On Terror Drinking Game]." --Stephen Colbert
