Must-see TV

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards were all on the Colbert Report on Thursday.

The whole show was hilarious, so catch the rerun on Friday if you’ve got cable. But I just had to post this You Tube of Edwards doing “The Word” segment (thanks, NCDem!):

Too funny.

On the Daily Show, Jon Stewart absolutely skewered the moderators of that ABC Clinton-Obama debate. Also well worth watching the rerun. I couldn’t find that video on the Comedy Central site yet, though.

  • Well done Colbert

    That entire show was an absolute must see!

  • That...was....awesome!

    I am really impressed. I had thought that Edwards had killed his chances of getting the vice-president nod by not endorsing…but could this be the start of a veep campaign?

    Also, why is it that politicians always seem to completely change their personalities for the best after they lose? If Edwards had been this funny and light-hearted during the primaries, it would probably be between him and Obama right now instead of Hillary.  

    • I would rather see him in a cabinet post

      I don’t think he’s a good fit for Obama as VP (or for Clinton, in the unlikely event that she is the nominee).

      When I saw him in person last year, he was funny. But he didn’t tend to use his tv time that way when he was on the news/analysis shows.

  • That was brilliant comedy

    Absolutely loved that Edwards got more than 6 minutes for EdWords.  He has a great sense of humor and was able to pull that off quite skillfully.

    I want to see Edwards be the Al Gore of poverty and maybe universal health care.  Why put him in government and have his efforts stymied by Obama or Clinton?  He and Elizabeth are quite capable of accomplishing more out in the “real world.”
