Late Night TV You May Have Missed
NP: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
The Huffington Post has both a transcript and the video of Jon Stewart, quite frankly, owning Bill Kristol on health care. I'm struck by the peculiar way that pundits and politicians -- I won't say right-wing pundits and politicians, as the left may very well do the same thing -- will say something, then almost immediately say that they didn't say what they just said.
More evidence of that in last night's "Moment of Zen":

| Moment of Zen - Sarah Palin Warns of Government Largesse | ||||
| ||||
Which brings us to Sarah Palin, and the absolutely brilliant idea from Conan O'Brien to have William Shatner read her resignation speech over acoustic bass and bongos. I suspect any leftovers from Jay Leno's audience didn't get that, either, but it's the very definition of wit versus just plain old comedy.
