Late Night of the Gods, Media and Politics Divisions

Howard Dean was on Jon Stewart last week... bliss for a girl like me. Comedy Central has the clip here.

A few of my own personal highlights:

Stewart:  The Democrats have been criticized for not having a spine .... then you came in and now you're being criticized, now it's like hey jeez... that's a lot of spine.

And this:

Dean: They talk about morals but they don't do anything to help the poor. Helping the poor is mentioned over 3,000 times in the bible. I have yet to find one mention of gay marriage in the bible.

And:

Dean: Here the Republicans are going out to all the African-American churches in America, and  they won't even renew the Voting Rights Act. Give me a break.

And a little teamwork:

Stewart: Why don't the Democrats do this: Every day say what they Democratic government would have done in that situation.
Dean: I think that's a great idea. Would you like to be the shadow Secretary of State?

Why the "shadow" secretary of state. Jon Stewart should be in the cabinet.

Let's hear it for Dean, a man who doesn't need neuticals!
