Bill Kristol on The Daily Show

Jon Steward had Bill Kristol on The Daily Show last night and it was their typical interview. It's pretty good though Kristol started out going for the jokes and didn't say much he believed. At the end he started suggesting that all the stuff that the medias talks about (and that he's brought up) isn't a reason to vote for either candidate and that neither is as bad as the other side makes them out and "it's just an election". At the end Jon said this and I loved it:

"I have great fondness and affection for John McCain. I would have voted for him if he had made it, against Gore, quite frankly, in 2000. The guy I see right now putting air quotes around women's health and doing all the things that he does, I don't know what that is. And if that's a strategy that's disingenuous from how he really thinks, then my opinion of him is even lower. And that's my bigger concern you seem to be saying look Obama's not a radical, he's not a socialist, we're just calling him that to trick people so that they get scared and then they'll do it. That's the thing I get saddest about."

Here's the whole interview:


and if you're worried if Jon will remain funny in an Obama administration, this segment should allay your fears.
