Jon starts off the show by getting right into the shutdown at the Senate. Jon then talked to Sen. Barbara Boxer, who was backstage, and asked her why the Senate was shutdown.
Jon then went right into Judge Alito’s nomination to the Supreme Court. Jon compared Alito and Miers with a handy little checklist. John proceeded to see what everyone is saying about Alito, with everyone saying the same thing, depending on their party. After this, Jon showed some clips of Judge Alito and Sen. Schumer trying to get some play with Rosa Park’s death.
Jon then decides to look into Judge Alito’s past and see if he’ll be confirmed. Jon determines that he’ll end up being Judge Dredd.
After a commercial break, Jon introduces a piece from Nate Corddry about the poor. When Hurricane Katrina hit the New Orleans area, there was a lot of attention to poverty. Nate went on to show several video clips from old news reels and recent tv shows.
Back from commercial, Jon welcomes tonight’s guest, Senator Barbara Boxer. Their discussion was about today’s events in the Senate, the WMD investigation, etc.
As always, a good episode, but it wasn’t my favorite episode of late.
