Video follow-up: Clinton on Fox and Bush's "comma"

Eschaton posts a YouTube video from the Daily Show on media coverage of Clinton's Fox appearance. Although the former president was ambushed and subjected to fact-free accusations of causing the 9/11 attacks, and although the media have conveniently forgotten their eagerness to report "wag the dog" stories whenever Clinton proposed military force in his second term, it was boiled down for public consumption to "president goes insane on TV."

At Crooks & Liars, there's a clip of Jack Cafferty talking about Bush's flippant assertion that the violence in Iraq is nothing more than a "historical comma." Which, in addition to being thoughtless and cruel, still doesn't make sense.
