“Outrage today from many Americans, especially the gay ones, over
comments made by General Peter Pace, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs

distract our troops from killing.”
–Jimmy Kimmel
“Rudy Giuliani has defended Newt Gingrich, saying it’s okay Newt had
an affair and that no one is perfect. That’s when you know the
Republicans are in trouble — when a guy with three marriages and an
affair is defending the guy with three marriages and two affairs, so
they can team up and beat a Clinton.” –Jay Leno

— called a press
conference to announce he’ll be making a decision about running for

This is the kind of bold, decisive leadership this country needs.”

in South America, he’s
going to visit on Monday the sacred Mayan ruins, and after he leaves

to try it in Iraq, New Orleans, Guantanamo Bay, Ground Zero and the
atmosphere of the planet Earth.”
–Bill Maher
“While he was there, Bush did an interview with the Brazilian press
and he said the most difficult decision a president could ever make
is sending troops into harm’s way. But enough about Walter Reed.”

Stewart
