Jon started off by talking about Monday night's interview with Hillary Clinton. The satellite delay was an obvious problem, and Jon pointed out one of the more awkward moments of the night, that little "No, go ahead" part. "Mortal Kombat '08": Senior Political Correspondent Rob Riggle, wearing his best sleeveless suit, took the "do-or-die" aspect of the Tuesday showdown a little too seriously. The "Cam-Pain Trail" commercial must have been so much fun to make. Only on Daily Show would someone need to make a graphic of sh*t in people's necks.
"Fruits of Democracy": Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recently paid a visit to Iraq and it went awesome. It was nothing like President Bush's usual visits, always shrouded by the cloak of night and visible only through haphazard lighting in a remote location. Jon had a Camera Three moment with Iraq, trying to figure out why Ahmadinejad had such a sweet welcome mat, whereas Americans -- and certainly Bush -- do not.
The night's guest was Ralph Nader, who is running for president again. Um... You've got to admire his spirit. From what I remember, Nader is usually a polite but vocal guest, but this time he seemed really pissed. I mean, he let loose on the fight against third parties, covering everything from bizarre anti-petition rules to gerrymandering. Jon even got a little worried towards the end, unsure if Nader's anger was being directed towards him or the system.
Moment of Zen: The gun used to kill Lee Harvey Oswald? Sweet.
EDIT: Not Oswald's real gun, but his death gun. My bad.

So in the end, Stephen Colbert could run as an independent but chose the easy way out by trying to get on both the big party's ballots.
I would've voted Colbert... if I were a legal resident of the US ;-)
