      Simply great. I know they reduced a lot of footage to a well-edited comedic news report, but it is bloody brilliant.

      One of the funniest, most honest, pieces of, um, journalism I have seen in a long time.

      If one were to show it to the Tea Baggers, I am certain they would feel that the Daily Show is behind them 100%!! One may have to cut out the laughter in the background, though...

        Compared to Fox Noise?? Yes!

        The Onion is more realistic than Fox Noise!

      The clip cuts off before any of the teabaggers start talking about Faux. Wasn't that the point of this clip and Oliver's story?
