Got cable? Then watch PBS at 9 p.m. EDT today for Bill Moyers' Journal.
"Also on the program: Josh Marshall, blogger and publisher of the influential talkingpointsmemo.com, gives his perspective on the role of politics in the recent firings of federal prosecutors; and Carlo Bonini, Italy's foremost investigative reporter."
In the preview video, Stewart talked about the recent performance of U.S. Attorney General Alberto "I can't remember a damned thing" Gonzales, Dubya's praise of Gonzales and compared it a scene from Goodfellas (possibly the greatest gangster movie ever made!):
Stewart: ... When Henry Hill got arrested for the first time, and Robert DeNiro met him at the courthouse, and Henry Hill was really upset because he thought Robert DeNiro would be really mad at him. And DeNiro comes up to him and gives him a hundred dollars and goes: "You got pinched. We all get pinched. But you did it right. You didn't say nothing."
Gonzales said nothing (see Daily Show highlights here; also analysis from John Oliver. The Oliver piece has Bush's reaction, plus some horrifying footage of Rich Little's performance at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner).
Stewart: "'You made yourself -- a smart man, a self-made man -- look like an utter pinhead on national television. And you did it for me' (Bush)."
FWIW, here's a snippet from the screenplay:
Jimmy Conway (DeNiro): Congratulations! A graduation present! (Gives him a hundred bucks)
Young Henry Hill: Why? I got pinched.
Conway: Everyone does. You did it right. You told them nothing.
Hill: I thought you'd be mad.
Conway: I'm not mad, I'm proud of you. You took your first pinch like a man, and learned the two greatest things in life -- look at me: Never rat on your friends and and always keep your mouth shut.
The other gangsters: Here he is! You broke your cherry! Congratulations!
