The best thing here is surprisingly not the stuff about Repub Con, although Jon does point out the heavy mention of 9/11, but the interview with a surprisingly funny Ted Koppel.  And, yes, it's funny to hear Stewart call TDS "fake news."

Ted Koppel, with analysis from David Gergen and George Stephanopoulos, takes a look at the New Hampshire Republican debate, when George W. Bush was in the lead, with John McCain a strong #2, and Steve Forbes trying to make it into a three-sided race.  Plus three other guys.  This almost eighteen years ago to the day episode is chockful of "they didn't know" irony and just generally entertaining for a talking heads show.
