Plus ca change, etc.

Apparently the Daily Show killed last night. In a musical number set to a film sequence from Bye Bye Birdie, characters enacted the fateful Matthew Cooper - Karl Rove leak:

Matt (as geeky kid): Hello Mr. President, this is Matthew Cooper, can I speak to Karl Rove?
Rove (as woman in bubble bath): Did you hear about Joe?
Matt: He's a horrible guy!
Rove: He was sent by his wife
Matt: I hear she's a spy!
Rove: But it isn't a crime
Matt: Did you call her his wife?
Rove: Now go write it in Time!

Then Jon Stewart had on the perfect guests to comment on the whole thing: Woodward and Bernstein.

That's all on the increasingly invaluable Mediabistro site, specifically their Fishbowl NY page, which does for New York media what Wonkette does for DC. You know, if I had to choose only one site to pay-subscribe to, I'd drop Salon and keep Mediabistro. (See earlier entry.)
