Quote of the day: Senator McCain has a rollicking good time with Jon Stewart. Unfortunately, most of the substance is in the questions

"President Bush has been very clear that through his leadership he has made the world safer. I believe he said that exact sentence. My question to you is simply this: How much safer can the world afford to have him make us?"
—Jon Stewart, to Sen. John McCain, on last night's Daily Show

For the record, the senator, after laughing as heartily as the audience, tried not one but two "comedic" dodges before Jon said, cheerfully but firmly, "Don't dodge the question. Come back. Come back." And believe it or not, it turns out that mistakes have been made! Blah blah blah. But can't afford to lose in Iraq. Blah blah blah. Ha ha ha.
