Thank you, that was so unexpected (convince poor kids to start smoking)

"Other Washington insiders tried impeccable logic [on screen: Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) suggesting the increase in the cigarette tax would cause people to stop smoking and therefore, not fund the program]. It's fool proof! Wait, unless we convince poor kids to start smoking. Then they would pay for their own health care. Genius!" --Jon Stewart

"Speaking of tall, mythical, shambling creatures, the Fred Thompson presidential juggernaut keeps creaking forward. I originally thought Thompson's trademark laziness was an asset in a campaign. After all, if slow and steady wins the race, then imagine what stationary and half-asleep could do. But now I'm not so sure. Evidently, Thompson is having some trouble firing up the crowds. Look at him trying to jump start a room during a recent appearance in Iowa [on screen: Thompson saying, 'Can I have a round of applause?'] How embarrassing that the senator had to ask for applause. I mean, it makes you look desperate. There are other ways to get applause without just coming out and asking for it. Am I right, people? [audience applauds] Thank you, that was so unexpected." --Stephen Colbert
