Yes, we can.

They replay it the next night at 8 PM. I sometimes catch it then. Or on the internets.

Ever since the Al Smith dinner, I'm convinced Obama is better at comedy than at regular oratory.

The Daily Show should be a perfect fit.

Oh, I have no doubt he'll do fine and be very good on the show. And, when in the mood Stewart and Letterman are well capable of using their comedy context to ask some pretty tough questions.

I just find it diminishing that he won't hold a regular press conference but will do four minutes on Comedy Central.

Speaking of the Daily Show....

Noooooooo!!!!

Has anyone stopped to think what an Obama win coupled with a democratic controlled congress will do to the Daily Show? Dead I say dead.

Directv uses the east coast feed so the Daily Show comes on at 8:00 (and South Park at 7:00). A down side to watching the Daily Show that early is that my kids are subjected to those damn Girls Gone Wild ads that run after the kiddies go to bed on the east coast.

Via satellite.

Let me get this straight. You think a democratic super majority in congress would be devoid of opportunities for ridicule? What universe are you living in?

You may not have seen the show, but John Stewart is not entirely non-partisan in his monologues.

He may not be neutral, but neither is he shy about calling out people he agrees with when they're being stupid. And the Dems will surely have an increased opportunity for stupidity come next session of Congress.

True, but I just don't think his heart will be in it the same way. At the very least I hope to hell his job will be more difficult. Bush and crew were an endless fountain of material.... Unless you think we can count on Obama to start a war of aggression, trash the constitution and flub up pretty much ever time he opens his mouth...
