The Year That Was 2009 (in Daily Show Interviews)
Can you remember all the way back in the last decade when there was that one year that was called 2009 (or something like that)? That was a kinda crazy year, huh?
Well, if you're in the mood to get all retro and hipster faux-nostalgic, here's a bunch of interviews from that year — one for each month — back when the show wasn't even broadcast in high def. (Lo res interviews? That's like the Schlitz of talking stuff. Whatevs.)

I was alive and trying to get a job during the 70s…I'm sorry did I miss something? Carter owned the oil companies and was holding the oil hostage so the price of oil was up? Bushie and his buddies owned the oil companies, at least that's that I thought. Carter was in charge of the mortgage companies, the same banking giants that went belly-up under the deregulation ala Duhbya and his cronies? Carter came in on the heels of 8 years of Republicon policies, i.e. Nixon/Ford from which sprung Cheney. Or was I living in the 1870s rather than the 1970s?
Please check your "facts" Robin. Remember, you can have opinions, which can be wrong. However, facts can be disproved, as I just did yours.
I need a barfbag! Especially after watching Carter, Napolitano, Pelosi & Franks.
Carter is responsible for nothing but calamity! He was a nightmare! Mortgage rates were 20% and we had gas rationing and lines. American hostages in IRAN….We could not wait to get rid of him! Thank you Jimmy! Franks is responsible (and his croneys) for the mortgage crisis and the bankrupted Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac . Lets not forget his male Prostitute boy-toy running around, wrists up, in the Chamber halls. Napolitano bankrupted Arizona in 8 years as Governor (debt total 1.3 BILLION) and he/she used taxpayer dollars to give same sex benefits to Government employees and to sue the best Sheriff in the Country who was merely doing his job and protecting the taxpaying citizens from illegal coyotes and drug traffickers (lawbreakers) and the wildwest free-for-all that resulted and is ongoing because she gutted the budget. Obama saw that train wreck & put he/she in charge of HOMELAND SECURITY!!?? . As far as Pelosi goes…look at her. She's an idiot. There is nothing in her skull. NOTHING. It's empty. Good BYE 09!
What is this the horrors gallery???
I disagree with Newt, Pelosi should be hung, drawn and quartered also
What she and Jimmy boy and the others are doing is bring down this Country.
They are "changing" what they don't know and ruining this country.
They are traitors and should be tried as such, along with their "messiah".
Huckabee should not be in this gallery and neither should Newt. (but he needs to change his mind about hanging Pelosi.
Harry Reid is just evil…..and deserves to be removed from Senate.
