"Joe-icide" on the Daily Show

I've added a link to the video in the YouTube section here. Here are a couple excerpts...


Jon Stewart: Joe Lieberman, putting on a brave face, but what's the mood really like?

Samantha Bee: Well, in a word, John, Joe-peless. There's a Joe-verwhelming sense of sadness here, a kind of Joe-lancholy. The people here are feeing very Joe-vial--oh no, that doesn't work--um, Joe-icidal--that's the word! Many bleary-eyed volunteers remain too sad to sleep, and are staying awake with a large cup of...coffee.

Jon Stewart: Sam, what do you make of Lieberman's decision to press forward in this race as an independent?

Samantha Bee: Well, John, he's no quitter. In fact, sources in his campaign tell me, if he loses again in November, he'll start his own Senate, where he'll name himself majority leader of a Democratic party comprised of Walter Mondale, Mike Dukakis, Jerry Brown, and a zombified Adlai Stevenson.
...
Jon Stewart: Sam, are you at least impressed with the persistence of Joe Lieberman? You remember his sports analogy, "it's only halftime, coming out for the second half..."

Samantha Bee: Yeah...let me use another analogy...dating.

"Joe, we don't want to go out with you any more!"
"Great, so, I'll pick you up Tuesday at 8..."

You see, it's not persistence, John. It's called stalking.

Jon Stewart: In your opinion, Sam, is there nothing that will change Lieberman's mind?

Samantha Bee: No, Joe Lieberman has made up his mind. If not nominated, he will run. If not elected, he will serve.
