Here’s a clip from the June 17, 2003 daily show that satirizes a group of old folks’ monthly voyage into Canada Mexico to pick up their prescription medicines at the price they can almost afford:
License To Pill

Blix said it, and he says he said it. He just didn’t think it would be printed.
Was he referring to members of the U.S. Government? Or one of the many other “bastards” in Washington? (The town is known to have its share.) The world may never know.
Blix was intentionally vague about who the “bastards” were. He’s not a career diplomat for nuthin’!
That’s the great thing about being intentionally vague 🙂

So there’s no connection between Al Qaeda and the Iraqi government the U.S. just overthrew and the Shrub Administration has known this since last year?
So much for the “we had to invade Iraq because of 911” rationalization.

This Daily Show clip is based on this story by the NY Times:
C.I.A.; Captives Deny Qaeda Worked With Baghdad
Two of highest-ranking leaders of Al Qaeda in American custody reportedly tell CIA in separate interrogations that Al Qaeda did not work jointly with Iraqi government of Saddam Hussein; Abu Zubaydah, Qaeda planner and recruiter until his capture in Mar 2002, is said to tell questioners that Osama bin Laden vetoed idea of working with Hussein’s government because he did not want to be beholden to Hussein; separately, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Qaeda chief of operations until his capture this Mar, tells interrogators that group did not work with Hussein; spokesmen at White House, State Dept and Pentagon decline to comment on why Zubaydah’s debriefing report was not publicly disclosed by Bush administration last year
Here’s a thoughtful piece by Jon Stewart that he wrote up when he realized that if you combine the Shrub’s new policy of continuing to relax the last 30 years of EPA regulations with last week’s (undoubtedly unconstitutional) Amendment that was passed in one of the Houses banning burning the flag as a form of political speech, it would appear that the flag is the only thing you aren’t allowed to burn in the U.S.

This clip is also from June 9th and provides a great recap of the fast talking going on by the Repubs all day Sunday on the various major news networks regarding their WMD lies. Stewart has edited in a little footage from one of Colin Powell’s WMD speeches, just so we can all refresh our memory about what was said.
I’m also about to post some footage of my own that I was able to dig up from the weeks before the Shrub War that should help to refresh our memories a bit 🙂
“The Republicans, for the first time in this Administration, are on the defensive. Their tactic can be best described as “flooding the zone.”
