there is no "i" in team, but there are two in "dickishness"

The Daily Show shows how to handle politicians who don't want to do an interview. Video (12Mb, about 5mins).

In this case, the subject is the Republicans childish behaviour about a friendly softball league in Washington DC.

If you can't be bothered grabbing it, there's a writeup at the Huffington Post, including the awesome phone interview bit at the end:

"Would you say that your decision to storm out in the middle of an interview reflects a general dickishness amongst Republicans that's probably responsible for the fact that New Orleans is under water? And I will take a hang up to mean yes."

Al Gore appearing with Bender in an advertisement for his movie on climate change (doco is being shown at MIFF, yay!)

Where the hell was this sort of Al Gore back in 2000 when he was running against WPE?
