Daily Show hits McClellan, White House

After watching Monday's press briefing by Scott McClellan, I simply knew it was only a matter of time before Jon Stewart and the Daily Show were going to have a field day.

And this morning, my gut instinct was that Stewart would devote much of his show today to it.

How could he not?

And sure enough - Jon devoted two whole segments to the Valerie Plame/Karl Rove controversey. The second featured an excellent skewering of Stonewallin' Scotty and his "tactical defense strategy" at the press briefing on Monday - namely:

"I will not comment on this ongoing investigation while it is ongoing".

That could become Scotty's permanent signature line.

Crooks and Liars has the video. Dem Bloggers hasn't posted it yet. They didn't post yesterday's Daily Show clip, either, which was puzzling.

In any case, we'll tell you how you can get your clips from CommonBits this Saturday if Dem Bloggers doesn't start posting them again.
