Somewhat ironic considering how often on here someone makes a Hitler reference, and then someone else talks about how much they hate Hitler references and how stupid it is.

Jon Stewart did a segment tonight on the Daily Show on people using Hitler in their speeches. Particularly funny was Rick Santorum (R Senate) who attacked Democrats for making Hitler references then two months later made the exact same reference over the fillibuster debate.

Check www.comedycentral.com tomorrow to see if you can download the video, they usually post them a day later. If I have time I'll post the link, but I wanted to post this before I forgot to point everyone towards it.

I thought this segment was great, one of the Daily Show's best (and most pointed) criticisms of the last few weeks. I was hoping Stewart would namecheck Godwin, though. [Wink]

Yeah, I saw that Daily Show piece last night. Loved it. One of those things that should be forced viewing for anyone in any level of government. It's not often anymore that Jon hits people on both side of the aisle so equally. And it was truthful, cutting and hilarious. One of their best moments.
