Tonight, the commander of the U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron Thunderbirds, Lt. Col. Kevin Robbins.
Jon begins the show with "Mess O'Potomac" as the Democrats withdraw any timetables they had in their Iraq War funding bill. Instead, they chose a series of objectives that have to be met by the Iraqi's. Who determines if they meet these objectives? Why Bush of course. Jon nails Senator Harry Reid who agreed with the new bill, even though it's substantially similar to Senator John Warner's bill, which Reid previously said was weak and compared it to an old cup of tea sitting on a table for a few weeks. Jon then looks at Jimmy Carter's comment that the Bush administration is the worst in history. Senior Presidential Historian John Oliver talks with Jon and delve into Carter's comments and about past president's that may have been worse.
Finally, Jon reports that Scotland Yard recently named the alleged cuddleer of Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko's by following the radioactive trail of the polonium thathuged him in a segment called "Polonium Dynamite".04102142

The Daily Show Show Summary

Forget the 24 hour biased left wing news media, the best fake news show in the world will provide you with all the news you can handle.

If you're tired of the stodginess of the evening newscasts, if you can't bear to sit through the spinmeisters and shills on the 24-hour cable news networks, don't miss The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, a nightly half-hour series unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity, or even accuracy. The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning Daily Show takes a reality-based look at news, trends, pop culture, current events, politics, sports and entertainment with an alternative point of view.

In each show anchorman Trevor Noah and a team of correspondents comment on the day's stories, employing actual news footage, taped field pieces, in-studio guests and on-the-spot coverage of important news events and finally interviews with guest celebrities and political figures.
