"Daily Show" host/comedian Jon Stewart engages his in-house "media analyst," Stephen Colbert on media coverage of the war in Iraq:
Jon Stewart: What should the media's role be in covering the war?
Stephen Colbert: Very simply, the media's role should be the accurate and objective description of the hellacious ass-whomping we're handing the Iraqis.
Jon Stewart: Hellacious ass-whomping? Now to me, that sounds pretty subjective.
Stephen Colbert: Are you saying it's not an ass-whomping, Jon? I suppose you could call it an ass-kicking or an ass-handing-to. Unless, of course, you love Hitler.
