he'd have to limit that advice to things that weren't shameful, illegal, or spectacularly bone-headed (Not seeing it)

"It's a major concession from the president's initial offer to Congress, which was that they go f**k themselves." --Daily Show correspondent John Oliver, on Bush offering Congress private interviews with White House aides

"The White House is adamant that its advisers retain the right, if they so choose, to lie without consequence. It's executive privilege. If Karl Rove knew he'd one day be forced to testify under oath about the advice he gave the president, he'd have to limit that advice to things that weren't shameful, illegal, or spectacularly bone-headed." --John Oliver of The Daily Show

"The Democrats are trying to turn these firings of U.S. attorneys into a partisan issue, but the president is above bickering. In fact, he made a generous peace offering. Karl Rove and Harriet Miers would submit to private interviews, but 'they would not take oaths nor would a transcript be made available.' See, the president is just trying to save this country from another painful perjury trial." --Stephen Colbert

"Earlier today on Capitol Hill, firemen put out four small fires that were started in bathrooms at the Senate office building.  Senator Larry Craig was seen running from the bathroom, screaming, 'I won't go quietly!'" --Conan O'Brien

"It turns out having a private security firm subject neither to Iraqi, United States nor international law can create some oversight issues, killing wise. But not to worry, for Blackwater's day of reckoning is at hand [on screen: Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), 'I want you to know Blackwater will be accountable today']. For I am Waxman. Yes, the burden the of dispensing justice to Blackwater's mercenary army has fallen on the what I can only assume are the hirsute shoulders of the man who couldn't even get Harriet Miers to testify." --Jon Stewart, on the Blackwater controversy

JOKES: I picked the best person I could find without getting out of my chair

"As you know, Mitt Romney's campaign is dead. Although I understand why those officials just told President Bush he went to 'live on a farm.'" --Jay Leno
