The first is a followup to Amb. John Bolton’s appearance on the Daily Show the night before.

Reality means nothing to these guys, and John Bolton is example number one. Wikipedia has more on Lincoln’s cabinet as does The University of Illinois at Springfield.

The second clip is John Oliver providing commentary about the White House’s “offer” to have Harriet Miers and Karl Rove testify only if there are no transcripts and they are not under oath.

I thought that was hilarious but then I became a little annoyed. When the Bush administration says F you to Congress in cases like this, they’re saying F You to all of us. Transparency and accountability aren’t simply important between Congress and the Executive but important to help us keep our representatives in government honest.
