Yes I agree and enjoy comedy, especially Letterman and the Daily Show. But for the comedy to work often they have to doctor things or only mention half the story. i.e. on the Daily Show they would have someone ask a question making Condi or the President look real stupid but not show the response that proves their competency or gives the true story. Sometimes they even trim the question to make it funny while in context it wouldn't have been funny at all. And that's all fair play as long as people realize they're tweaking the news to make it funny.
