Jon Stewart: "One of the genius moves of the Founders was not writing the Bill of Rights on the back window of a dusty van."

The Daily Show With Jon StewartM - Th 11p / 10c

Barack Obama Interview
John McCain Interview

Must-watch Daily Show segment. My favorite bit starts with a clip of Bill O'Reilly discussing Obama's inaugural address: "I didn't like the line [...] about 'we don't need to compromise our values to protect ourselves.' I think sometimes we do."

Jon Stewart replied: "If you don't stick to your values when tested, they're not values! They're hobbies. One of the genius moves of the Founders was not writing the Bill of Rights on the back window of a dusty van."
