God bless Jon Stewart and his Daily Show staff. Last night they presented a fantastic satirical segment on how Bush administration officials, past and present, have avoided answering questions posed by Congress. Daily Show correspondent John Oliver put it best: “Classic Hall of Fame Bullshit.”

Oliver’s remarks were in response to John Ashcroft’s testimony before Congress. When the former Attorney General was asked about his recollection of discussions regarding the treatment of “enemy combatants,” Ashcroft claimed he couldn’t differentiate his own memories of events with the accounts of others.

The exchange between Stewart and Oliver is below, and lasts 3:25.  For information that is less satirical, see:

From Comedy Central’s Indecision 2008:

Former Bush Administration Under Secretary of Defense Douglas Feith was on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart tonight to set the record straight on the Iraq war. Apparently we were not misled into war. I believe him. Unless he’s misleading me now…

-TheInDecider, 12 May 2008

Feith attempts to explain the lead up to the Iraq war while promoting his new book on the subject.  The Daily Show host, Jon Stewart, was justifiably incredulous during the interview.  Despite this, the interview lasted for two segments, which is a rarity on The Daily Show, and even then it needed to be cut further to fit on the air.  The entirety of the interview may be found at the above link.

Feith, you may recall, was referred to as “The Dumbest #@!#! on the Planet” by General Tommy Franks.  The below video is from a 2005 Daily Show, and serves to reinforce the General’s assessment.
