Hillary Clinton on "The Daily Show" - one show too many

Bad lighting, a crowd of zombies behind her, the always unfortunate satellite bounce and a voice that sounds like it's gone into overtime ...

I understand what Sen. Clinton was trying to do here. If she's to keep this campaign going beyond Tuesday -- and by the way, why is everybody so opposed to that notion? Do people want to shift the conversation back to the Middle East? The price of oil? What? -- anyway, if she's going to endure, she'll need more than white mature female voters in her corner. Hence her visit to Letterman, "SNL," and now Talk Stew.

But compare her "Daily Show" chat to the much better lit and scripted appearances on NBC (above) and CBS (below) last week. Let's just say she should be thankful the smallest audience saw her least impressive late-night appearance.
