Or like shooting a 78-year-old man in the face.

There are days when the Daily Show folks must really, really love their jobs, and yesterday was one of them. John Stewart, visibly excited, said it was so good he'd even consider returning his paycheck. I'm not the only one who thinks this might be their best episode in a good long time, or at least the most newsworthy.

Honestly, the best part was when Ed Helms just kept repeating variations of the obvious headline, "A 78-year old man was shot in the face by the Vice President of the United States of America." I mean, come on--peppering? Spraying? The veep shot some dude. With a shotgun. In the face. It really shouldn't be so funny to hear an accurate headline over and over again, but such is our current media universe.

If you missed the show last night, catch some of it at Crooks & Liars.
