Didn't some Republican admit recently that they basically liked Palin because they thought she was hot? Something along the lines of, "When she winked, you felt she was winking at you."

Bill Kristol, and that was back in 2008. He wrote a lot of articles single-handed back then.

September 17, 2008, but they aren't focusing on the financial crisis just yet.

They will after the 29th when Washington Mutual fails, Wachovia fails, and Congress rejects the bailout causing the Dow to fall 777 points.

When they throw up the #FAIL slide, that means it's for everyone. If it's an issue just for you, you get a more generic message on a black screen.

This was a very good interview, too. I've always appreciated how Jon Stewart can establish a casual tone to an interview but still throw proper, nuanced questions in there.

Wow, it's pretty hilarious that people treated Sarah Palin and Barack Obama as peers during a brief period in 2008.

This marathon reminds me that as big a joke Palin was, it was still McCain loving up and giving sane people every reason to not vote for their ticket. It was McCain being a petty and desperate rear end in a top hat.

Jon scolding Congress for taking two days for Rosh Hashanah was an excellent collection of well-deserved angry words.

Awright, we mining that rich vein of Palin.

Have we had "I've read newspapers" and "I can see Russia from my house" yet?

Yes, now we're up to the Grandma saying *I don't like him because he is Arab* and McCain trying to handle -that-.

Cool, they skipped election night, again, like they skipped election night 2006. What's the point in this marathon if you're not running the biggest milestone broadcasts?

I'm not sure the election night broadcasts actually film late enough to discuss the results.

If I recall they usually have election night specials that run just late enough to have a good idea who won.

It was a live show that ran during the results. I'm guessing there's some kind of rights issue with the live episodes?

I think it's just not running guest-hosted or co-hosted episodes. Like a blanket thing and nobody's actually thinking.

In 2008 I was still living at my mother's house. I can't believe I moved away so long ago.

Although Stewart/Cheney would probably be more substantive.
