VIDEO: Jon Stewart nails Ashcroft on his "don't trust" flip-flop (18Oct)

Video here, until it's pulled.

From the Oct 18th Daily Show...

Jon Stewart skillfully works John Ashcroft from his "'trust but verify' means 'don't trust'" (the government) sound bite to the John Ashcroft we've grown to know and love... the "there is a time where you have to trust" Bush Administration Rubber Stamp toady.

1. Why do you predict it will be pulled?

pressure from ASSSKKKKRoft or because TDS videos are routinely pulled from You Tube? Just curious... thx for the link.

2. I was thinking because of the copyright issue.

Though there *do* seem to be a lot of other TDS videos up there, so maybe it'll stay -- at least for now.

4. He took it pretty easy on him imo

Someone like ashcroft jon really shouldn't nailed.

5. Certainly, relative to what Ashcroft deserves ...

... but I thought this exchange made Ashcroft look extremely foolish, to the discriminating viewer. Stewart can't be expected to be our journalistic hero; he does what he can.
