Lily Malcolm excerpts The Daily Show, Conan O'Brien, Leno, and Letterman, all talking about comic-fodder-du-mois Trent Lott on Tuesday night and asks, "Is the GOP really going to let this drag out till January?"
As a minor GOP official ("as I told Karl Rove the other day, if he keeps calling me about every little decision, he'll never learn to think for himself"), I can confidently say that I hope not.
My real comment about Lily's entry is that if you had given me the quotes and the names, I'll bet I could have matched them, at least with some success. I definitely could have pinned down Jon Stewart (of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show"). Letterman is fairly distinctive, too; he can be more distinctive than he was in that quote, but I expect I would have tied him to "Trent Lott's Swinging Motown Christmas", especially after having eliminated Jon Stewart. Leno is the sanest of the group, and O'Brien... well, he was very good when he was with the Simpsons.
