11. Uh?
Looked like he covered 'em to me.

It was spread out into two different segments. The first one was short, but the second one was prolonged.

Of course, his ragging on the wingnuts for their homophobic projections onto that sweet diversity video was priceless!

2. I think excerpting repeated phrases by a politician precedes
the Daily Show.

:)

6. Okay, well David Letterman has been doing that for years
He will have a word count and show how many times Bush says the same word in one speech.

9. I had Faux/Bushco on for a minute
Tpny Snow was saying that there were only 500 to 1,000 protestors in DC today. He said they were very unimpressive and far less than any
one expected.

I hope we can get some decent press.

Thousands of protesters descend on Washington

By Donna Borak
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL

Washington, DC, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- In one of the largest-scale efforts mounted by anti-Bush protesters, thousands of activists banned together Thursday with one resounding message: "You're not my president, President Bush."

Huddled in masses, staving off the cold with layers of clothes, wool hats and gloves, many of the tens of thousands of protesters began their day at Malcolm X Park on 16th Street for the D.C. Anti-War Network rally and march. They amassed under the cause of what they said was emancipating social justice from the grasp of President George W. Bush and ending the U.S. occupation in Iraq.
