• Watch The Daily Show's coverage of the joke debacle, with Samantha Bee on Kerry losing elections he's not even in, Jon Stewart on Kerry's comic stylings, and Aasif Mandiv on how to properly deliver jokes about Iraq.

David Letterman has the Top 10 John Kerry Excuses. #7: "Just displaying that famous wit that cost him the 2004 election."
