1. He didn't make a very good impression.
He seemed very nervous. Colbert had him.

9. You should see if they still have the video of him on The Daily Show...
Edited on Thu Apr-27-06 11:13 PM by Up2Late
...pre-Iraq War and then his post-invasion appearances, it's quite a contrast.

He was SO cocky back before everything started going to hell, it's almost sad... or not.

Did I spell that right?
I love watching the worms squirm. They shit in their nests and are trying to get out of it.
Somebody asked in a post earlier today, why do the right wingers go on that show more the the left? Good question.

14. I was going to mention that
The one that stands out to me was the eve of the '98 midterm, in the midst of Monicagate. Kristol was a guest on one of the political shows and was asked about how the Republicans would fare in the House. His response was basically word for word, "Oh, they'll pick up 12 to 14 seats. I have to make a few more calls but that's where it stands."

12. When he was on Jon Stewart, Stewart told him:
"you were wrong about Iraq before anybody else was." Hilarious.

15. Hey! I just found another blog with a bunch of classic Daily Show video!
It's mostly old interviews, but most are with some of his all time best guests (Hillery, Micheal Moore, Al Franken...).

20. What a scumbag!
Edited on Fri Apr-28-06 07:20 AM by magnolia
Colbert immediately brought up PNAC and Kristol stammered like a shy guy on his first date! Kristol said it was needed after 9/11 and Colbert jumped right on it to say that they came up with the plan BEFORE 9/11.

Kristol WANTS the dems to take the House and Senate this November because he thinks after a few years of tax and spend dems, the republicans would win the presidency in 2008 for sure! (he mentioned McCain, Guilliani, Romney). Yeah right!

21. He might be right
The government works in cycles...

Kennedy to Nixon. Nixon to Carter. Carter to Reagan. Reagan to Clinton. Clinton to Bush. Bush to ???.

The government swings back and forth every decade.
