"The popularity of Congress is at an all-time low,
according to a recent poll that says Americans like head lice more than they
like Congress. But you know, I think the real story here is that some Americans
like head lice." –Conan O'Brien
Jon Stewart on Senator John McCain calling some of his
Republican colleagues "wacko birds": "You don't get to
complain!! McCain, you don't get to complain. At all. Because if I remember
correctly, no matter how cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs you think your wacko bird
colleagues are, they don't come anywhere close to your hatchling. [On screen:
clip of of McCain introducing Sarah Palin as his running mate in 2008]. You
opened Pandora's Box! You were the guy who gave the Mogwai a post-midnight
all-you-can-eat buffet! You don't get to complain that now the party's overrun
with gremlins!"
