First, on Scarborough Country Pat Buchanan outright mocking Bush's central post-9/11 reasoning that the terrorists hate us and attacked us because of our freedom. Buchanan pointed out the obvious that they don't like us because of our policies in the Middle East. The truly shocking part? He was smart and likable, especially sitting next to Joe Scarborough and Andrew Sullivan who both reacted like he was some drooling-pinko-terrorist-sympathizer. At some point Buchanan started rattling off historical dates and facts to support a point he was making and Scarborough, somewhat angrily, told Buchanan to keep his facts and dates to himself. Regardless, it's a little scary when Pat Buchanan is the voice of logic and reason. This new face of Pat has been emerging for a while but last night he was fully realized.
Second, Senator Joe Lieberman was both likable and hil-a-rious on The Daily Show. Every semi-earnest question Jon Stewart asked Joe about the inauguration and related festivities, Joe said something actually funny. For instance, Jon asked him where he was during Bush's swearing in and Joe replied that both he and John Kerry were on the stage behind Bush and that they both "lip synched" Bush's entire oath of office, so they're both ready if anyone needs them. For a few brief minutes I actually liked him.
Bizarro.
