"The Daily Show" steals my thunder

"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" spent wads of cash sending their cast and crew to Denver; I'm sitting here at home, without a battery of writers and producers, watching the Democratic National Convention on the satellite TeeVee my editors won't even let me expense.

So Stewart and Company turned out to spend a whole lot of money to file last night's segment on MSNBC squabbling that's not a whole lot different from the one I submitted in the early afternoon. (That link is pretty much a goof, since the post linked above is just a scroll-down below this one.)

And Stephen Colbert's guest last night, former Republican Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, was pretty engaging and even fairly complimentary to the Democrats, which is a heck of a shocker when it comes to Republicans.
