Starting off with some good old fashioned daily show bush bashing the show was already off to a hilarious start, then the democrats were criticized for their last 9 months in congress. They next went on to talk about a show "Kids Nation" in which kids apperantly had to live on their own with the normal reality show twists. Then dan bakkedahl went into a 1 on 1 with jon stewart on the subject.
Finally after a break clinton comes in for an extended interview (longer than the average daily show interview, as they have done before). Clinton puts on a very good interview about his book, politics, and his wife.moreless
AIRED:
Tonight, former President Bill Clinton promotes his new book, Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World. Jon begins tonight's show reporting on Bush's press conference where he criticicized Democrat's new SCHIP health insurance bill and also said that lack of progress in Iraq is partly due to Iraqi's "recovering from Saddam Hussein's brutal rule". "Mess O'Potomac" continues as Jon shows us how the Democrat's promise 9 months ago has changed from ending the Iraq War to giving the troops more time off. Finally, Jon reports on the controversy surrounding the new CBS reality series Kid Nation in a segment called "3'10" to Yuma". Senior Child Correspondent Dan Bakkedahl report's live from the new nation and talks about how he has dominated the children and become their overlord.moreless
