Do I need to have watched the show to understand the “mach” business? Mach two means twice the speed of sound; I’ve never seen it used the way you’re using it. And (sigh) there is no apostrophe in possessive “its.”

With one silly line “I didn’t inhale.”, the question of someone’s youthful drug use became forevermore a political joke rather than a serious issue. That single utterance was as brilliant a political coup as was ever achieved in American politics. Everybody laughed, including Clinton, at his ridiculous half-true “confession”.

In fact when he said it, the GOP who were seriously trying to roast him over it, were permanently disarmed. He showed them to be the nitpicky anal assholes they are and they never recovered; at least when it came to Bill Clinton.

They never recovered. All they could do was smile embarrassingly and wait for the two-election clobbering.

The conservatives are too frigging stupid to have a sense of humor.
And they are also too stupid to have a political philosophy.

Just in the microcosm of the White House, presumably the best and brightest GOPs, there’s not one single wit/funny person (or charming interesting personality for that matter). Bill Clinton alone was 100x more-so than all of them put together.

The conservatives are only funny to laugh at, never to laugh with.
If Bush hadn’t engineered the deaths of 600,000 people I’d be laughing my arse off.

Do I need to have watched the show to understand the “mach” business? Mach two means twice the speed of sound; I’ve never seen it used the way you’re using it. And (sigh) there is no apostrophe in possessive “its.”

Don’t ya just luv the spelling and grammar hall monitors?

This is more like a response to the <em>Saturday Night Live </em><em>Weekend Update </em>segment, but not as funny. Their problem is that there is no way one can make starving refugees, dwindling polar bear numbers, thousands of dead Iraqis and dead American soldiers funny.</p> If they think this is their response to the Daily Show, they obviously don’t watch it.
