Last night, Marc Racicot, the chair of the Bush/Cheney campaign, put in some time on the interview couch at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Jon Stewart asked him what the campaign had planned for an October Surprise (not, I'm sure, thinking they would actually admit to having one, much less disclosing what it is). The response, and I could not make this up:
"Our campaign is just so focused on being positive that there's just no way that would happen."
Speaking for those of us at home in the swing states subjected to the near-constant barrage of attack ads, Jon Stewart interrupted between "positive" and "that" with a spontaneous "WHAT?" It was one of those rare interview moments where the interviewer actually pointed out the interviewee's complete denial of reality. This is Comedy Central, on a self-described fake news show.
