yeah, I saw that on the daily show . . . just incredible. I mean, SNL has had a few really memorable parodies, but really -- even if there is an opportunity for a show to really, really, REALLY go after a political figure, most shows will go the way of the safe, nonsensical humor.
The Daily Show just lays it out, and says "Hahaha! Ok, now stop laughing -- damn, is that fucked up or what? I mean, it's really fucked up. How the fuck do you just explain your way out of that one?"
In my mind, the only thing that comes close in pure mercilessness are the Chevy Chase President Ford skits. They weren't as accurate, and they didn't take a time out to say "ok, all kidding aside folks, Mr. Ford is a dumbass" -- but especially for their time, they were pretty harsh, and they're still pretty funny.
