“What’s that word I’m looking for? It’s another word for decision.”

The Daily Show – just in case you’ve forgotten –  is pretty fucking brilliant:

The best part of this segment is when the young girl almost says “choice,” but then catches herself and says “decision.”

    Bwaahahahahaah! I KNOW!
    The Daily Show from Sep. 3 was just beautiful; the best episode I’ve seen in a looooong time. It’s simply stunning, completely mind-boggling, to watch the Republican party get pissy about the EXACT SAME ISH that they did to Clinton. AND not see any contradiction in their behaviors. (eyes glazing over)

    The Daily Show was absolutely brilliant all week. Fortunately for us busy folks, Comedy Central’s web site lets us watch the entire show on teh interwebz. Give yourself a treat and check out all of this week’s shows. Samantha Bee has been hilarious with her take on Gov Palin.

    Fucking awesome! You can almost see smoke coming out of their ears while they try to process the idea of choice within the anti-choice rhetoric.

    The best part of this video is Samantha’s impression of a 17-year-old. I just burst out laughing. Brill.

    “The freedom of choice is different from being pro-choice.”

    I see.

    Lauren, sadly I think this might be their response.

    The first couple of times that I watched this, I only focused on Samantha Bee’s impression of the 17-year-old. But her interviewee is clearly trying not to laugh.

    The Daily Show is also available on hulu.com where there is an option for clips or full episodes.

    Thanks for this. I do not have cable but now I know I can watch full shows online! (thanks BadKitty)….not sure why I didn’t think to check that myself.

    Actually, as much as I love The Daily Show, I have to say this is one of their more disappointing jokes for me. It completely ignores the existence of and distinction between legal choices and moral choices. Why did they go with this when there are so many other (coherent) ways to make fun of the pro-life camp? I still laughed a couple times, but come on, this is the Republican Convention! TDS can do so much better than this; they’re not usually so sloppy.

    Hilarious. Although- I am not sure I would call Bristol’s choice a choice- I hope it is, but an underage child of a pro-life political person- I just don’t know. I hope she had a choice.

    Can someone explain to me what the above comment means? I recognize all the words, but I’m not getting it.
