"Bush's Bucket List": President Bush, in his final year in office, has been continuing to do things that he should have done quite a long time ago. He also had an interview with Nightline's Terry Moran, which had its fair share of strange moments.

"10 Suckin' Years": It's been ten years since the Monica Lewinsky, um, situation broke, but it still doesn't look like the fellatio jokes about the administration have completely died. Just ask Carson Daly, who still uses them for his monologue sometimes to further confuse me as to why he has his own talk show. By the way, I was pretty young when the scandal happened and it caused me to believe for the longest time that "intern" was a very dirty word. Imagine my horror when I heard about the popularity of college students applying for internships to gain experience. Anyway, Correspondent John Oliver stopped by to show off his fabulous improvisational skills and talk about TDS' coverage of the scandal. He shared lots of old clips to illustrate his points (check this out for all sorts of videos from that time).

Well, at least ABC didn't chicken out and pull The Path to 9/11, despite calls from supporters of former President Clinton to pull the show. However, the movie, which aired part one last night, did not escape unscathed.

This AP article compares the version of the movie that was sent out to critics and the version that aired last night. Interestingly, the edits were in the exact places that got the Clinton supporters hot under the collar. In the aired version of the movie, the connections between the Lewinsky scandal and Clinton's inaction towards Osama bin Laden were de-emphasized, and the blame for not attacking OBL when we had the chance were shared amongst the administration and the intelligence community. Whether you believe or support any of these versions of the movies, it's interesting that ABC made the cuts it made while still defending the movie because it was a docudrama and not a documentary. I think that's what is called "Talking out both sides of your mouth."

Part two airs tonight, interrupted by President Bush's address to the nation.
