Quotes
- Jon Stewart: Why do you think we're getting so many hurricanes this year?
- Rob Corddry: My best guess is, this year, God is just being kind of a dick.
- Jon Stewart: Is the government better prepared to deal with [Hurricane] Rita than, perhaps, we were with Katrina.
- Rob Corddry: Absolutely Jon. Whatever their shortcomings in the past, the federal government has learned the lesson of Katrina - start blaming local and state officials now.
- Jon Stewart: Do you think it's possible that if environmentalists are found to be to blame for Natalee Holloway's disappearance, Sean Hannity's penis will explode?
