I love it when the Daily Show (TDS) points out contradiction of a
politician's current position with a comment that was made in the past. This was from 2

Jon Stewart: A couple of weeks ago, Congressman John
Murtha, a very hawkish democrat and former marine from Pennsylvania
came out with a support of withdrawal of U.S. troops. And this drew a
response from Ohio freshman Congresswoman Jean Schmidt after she had
talked to a Marine colonel.

Jean Schmidt: He also asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message that cowards cut and run, Marines never do.
Jon Stewart: Boy freshmen grow up so quickly. You know
what. I remember (eh...) Congresswoman Schmidt, back in September, (eh...) her
first address to the Congress. This is how she was talking:

Jean Schmidt: I pledge to walk in the shoes of my
colleagues and refrain from name calling or the questioning of
character. It is easy to sink to the lowest form of political debate.
Jon Stewart: Yeah, it is (eh…) amazing. But clearly
Jean Schmidt is (eh...) showing us that the shelf life of idealism in
Washington is [John counting fingers, whispering September, October,
November...] 2 1/2 months. Ouch...
