Last Night's Daily Show: You Could Hear a Pin Drop!
Above is a really awesome clip from last nights episode of The Daily Show. I watched the full thing and it was off how you could actually almost here a pin drop. Most of the laughter seemed dubbed in and the crowd didn't seem to enjoy themselves. The jokes were the same, and John Stewart took some swipes at the current administration, as well as leveling it off with the same about the GOP, and rightfully show. I couldn't help but wonder, "Wow, why is it so quiet?"
Then I found out: One of Bush's former Economic Advisers was the guest. This was going to be ugly.
Lawrence Lindsey came on the show, already sitting at the desk when they came back for the interview, and he actually had a ton of great points and, yes, agreed with John Stewart on the idea of giving the money from the bailout straight to the consumers to pay off their debt. Lawrence basically said that with this bailout that good and honest behavior was needed on both sides of the table, with the banks agreeing to lower interest rates and borrowers actually paying it back. John seemed to go for a "gotcha" moment that never came, and really, it was just a great interview.
