Does anyone know where I can find a transcript online of this Daily Show sketch about a debate between President George W. Bush and Governor George W. Bush? It was hilarious, and I’d like to show it to some people. ---

That was classic. I rarely get to watch TDS but I am so glad I caught that segment on TV. GWB would make a great spoke person in an ad campaign against himself. ---

That page is, for some reason, totally broken: no images will load, and the movies wont open. Grrrr… transcript anyone? ---

Does that clip play like a slideshow for everyone or just me? Nothing I do can make it play in motion, though the sound is there. ---

Works fine for me. Three cheers for comedy central for being cool enough to post that stuff. ---

The clip works for me. It’s a javascript thingy, though. Since I have Pop-Up Stopper I have to press the Control key while I click to open the new window. Maybe others need to do some kind of similar workaround as well. ---

That page is still a mass of broken images for me, and the javascript wont work. Anyone care to summarize? ---

For those who have not seen the clip, it is an _amazingly_ funny “debate” between year 2003 President George W. Bush and year 2000 Governor George W. Bush. The debate, which was composed of contradictory statements by George W. Bush went something like this: John Stewart: “Mr. President why do you feel the war in Iraq was necessary?” Clip of Pres. Bush: “We needed to take down Saddam Hussein’s evil regime for the good of the people of Iraq” John Stewart: “Mr. Governor, your response…” Clip of Bush (From three years ago): “America cannot be the police of the world. If we go around telling everyone they have to do things our way, everyone is just going to hate us…” ---

That was really something, both as a piece of humor and as a piece of political analysis. 🙂 ---

Stuck at work on a UNIX workstation that has no sound-is there anyone out there kind enough to give a transcript? I love Conan, but I hate that they moved The Daily Show to the 4:00PST slot-I _never_ get to see TDS anymore! Need to overcome my VHS-challenged block! ---

Arrgh! I cannot open the thing with either IE or Mozilla. Why don’t sites provide .avi links anymore? What Svengali-like hold does Real have over these people to use their shity streaming video? ---

The Real format is harder for people to capture and then pass around, forcing people to go to CC’s site and see their ads anytime they want to see the video. It uses a separate server type to stream, and unless you have some special program for negotiating the new protocol and grabbing the stream, you can’t save it to your computer. ---

The Daily Show is on several times a day. I know in Eastern time its on at 10 AM, 5 PM, 7 PM, and 11 PM, and possibly other times.
