Creepy

Wow, I'm just watching a download of the Daily Show's coverage of the 2000 Presidential election. Steven Colbert draws parallels with the race in the '60s between Nixon and Kennedy. Jon Stewart asks: 'Are you seeing parallels with tonight's election - a country flush with prosperity - two young, energetic candidates perhaps ready to lead us back to Camelot?'

Steven Colbert answers: No, I'm getting more of a 'Nam vibe. You know, unwinnable wars, inescapable downward spirals, chaos in the streets... that sort of thing.'

Obviously this was delivered as a joke, but it's pretty creepy, four years on, to see how close he came.
