Ed Gillespie, chairman of the Republican National Committee, was on The Daily Show last night and pitched a GOP/Bush Cheney'04 produced documentary concerning Senator Kerry's position on Iraq over the years. It is available at:

Gee, after watching, I'm more inclined to vote for him, even though he did play politics during the primaries. Overall, he's taken a strong position, but feels that Bush went about things badly, a point with which I agree. Thanks, Ed.

I do think the Flipper music is hilarious.

I agree, just like 911. And just like 911, it brings up some interesting points.

It's not dishonest to take his comments out of context, like the one about the $87 billion bill? That's exactly what Moore does - takes actual video and edits it so you only see the half of the story that he wants you to see. There's no difference.

Moore flat out makes up stuff. Like the whole "Liar" thing. And the changing the front of newspapers and gets sued because of it.

I don't understand the issue here. Kerry changes his position on some things between Desert Storm and Bush's Invasion and Today, while things concerning them change. So?

[Leela changes the channel herself. Two men who look remarkably alike stand at podiums. There are just two people in the audience.]

Announcer: (voice-over; on TV) C-SPAN9 presents: The Thrill Of Politics.

[Fry and Bender snore. Leela sighs and slides Fry across the couch and sits between them. They wake up.]

Leela: Look, I know there are no car chases but this is important. One of these two men will become president of the world.

Fry: What do we care? We live in the United States.

Leela: The United States is part of the world.

Fry: Wow! I have been gone a long time.

[One of the candidates, Jack Johnson, begins the debate.]

Johnson: [on TV] It's time someone had the courage to stand up and say: "I'm against those things that everybody hates".

[The other candidate is John Jackson.]

Jackson: [on TV] Now I respect my opponent. I think he's a good man but, quite frankly, I agree with everything he just said!

Fry: These are the candidates? They sound like clones. [He looks a little harder.] Wait a minute. They are clones!

Leela: Don't let their identical DNA fool you. They differ on some key issues.

Johnson: [on TV] I say your three cent titanium tax goes too far.

Jackson: [on TV] And I say your three cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough!
