"George W. Bush is
the right man to lead us in the era post whatever horrible calamity he leads us
into next." –Daily Show correspondent John Oliver
"The folks at ABC ran
into some trouble with their 9/11 mini-series. Lots of politicians are upset
with the show because they say it cleverly mixes facts with lies to mislead the
American public. You think politicians would admire that." --Jay Leno
"You've heard about
red states and blue states, but there are also red words and blue words.
'Shall' is red. It's strong and authoritarian, like the Republicans. 'I shall
return' [on screen: To Gay-Bashing in Election Years]. 'Shall' embodies
traditional Republican values like stick-to-it-iveness and telling other people
how to live [on screen: In Fear]. 'Shall' is godly, as in 'I shall not kill'
[on screen: Except By Lethal Injection]. If God were a Democrat, which he is
not [on screen: Though He Is Pro-Lieberman] God would have said, 'Thou will not
kill,' meaning you shouldn't kill, but you had a bad childhood, so it's
society's fault [on screen: Here's Some Counseling On Us]. 'Will' is a blue
word [on screen: Has Four Letters]. It's weak. It's vacillating like the
Democrats, as in, 'I will cut and run' [on screen: 60% 'Will' Agree]. Think of
all those times you hear 'will' and 'Democrats' in the same sentence. The
Democrats will tax. The Democrats will spend [on screen: Democrats Will Win The
Mid-Term Elections]." --Stephen Colbert
