Daily show on Swift Boat Vets

The daily show does it again...

After showing the New York Times article outlining the links of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's connections to the Bush administration, they showed Bush Campaign manager Ken Melman who said on Meet the Press yesterday: "Reading that NYTimes article I was reminded of that old Kevin Bacon game of six degrees of separation".

Then John Stewart says "Thats a fun game.. I remember that... lets see... I used to be really good at it, lets see if I still got it. ok... there is president bush, ok... his top advisor is Karl Rove, ok.. thats one. And he is friends with Bob Perry, who is the chief financier of the swift boat vets. Hey, I did it in Two!

You now what? lets see if I can do better. There is president bush, ahh... There is Ken Cortier who appears in a swift boat ad and is a member of the presidents campaign committee on veterans issues. Wow... I did it again in one!

Wow... I am really good at connecting the dots. You know its interesting, I tried to play that game linking Saddam to Al Quieda... uh... Its much harder."

later...

John Stewart: "So your saying that this back and forth (on vietnam service) is never going to end?"

Rob Corddry: "No. In fact John, a new group has emerged. This one composed of former bush colleges challenging the Presidents activities during the vietnam era. That group: "Drunken Stateside Sons of Privilege for Plausible Deniability". They have apparently have some things to say about a certain Halloween party in 1971 that involve some trash can punch and a sodomized pinata. John, they just want to set the record straight, thats all they are out for. "
