Senator Chris Dodd on the Daily Show
March 15th, 2007 by spazeboy
Senator Dodd was on the Daily Show Monday (that video is below the fold), and the interview wasn’t all that great.
Last night though, was very funny:
I’m a sucker for MySpace gags I guess. You can read all the backstage at the Daily Show coverage at Chris Dodd’s website.
I disagree – I thought his interview was fine. Dodd looked like he was having a great time, he was able to speak (briefly) to some of the areas of his experience and was a good sport about Stewart’s jokes re: his lower than desired poll numbers. He interviewed just fine.
GR,
I should have been clearer. I thought the interview was OK when I saw it Monday night, but I agree with Colin that Stewart should have given Dodd a chance to really shine. I am eager for Dodd to take off because it will be something exciting and CT-related to write about for 2008.
I think that the Daily Show clip from Wednesday was funnier and more entertaining than the interview. As a result, I think that the Wednesday clip did as much or more for raising Dodd awareness as the Monday interview.
All that said, I still haven’t picked a favorite for 2008, it’s way too early. I hope that Dodd stays in the race.
