On tonight's show, Stewart is disucssing the Wolfowitz scandal (He hired his girlfriend. which doesn't get much play on the major networks, having to do only with one of the most powerful and influential institutions in the world, and not a rather bosomy corpse). After a few salient points to make ready the ground (be fair, Wolfowitz pleaded, "I was new to this institution."), Stewart gives us a video bite of Wolfowitz apologizing: "I made a mistake, for which I am sorry."
That's when Stewart hits it: "There you have it -- Paul Wolfowitz, one of the principal architects of the Iraq War, apologizing. For something else. I imagine it's like when Charles Manson left a note on the Tate and LoBianca houses, saying 'Sorry about the carpets.""
