Just read the transcript at davidcorn.com - here's a snippet. But I haven't been successful finding the video online. Anybody know?
O'BRIEN: The presidential election's just a couple days away, and it is all that anyone is really talking about these days. we got a treat for you. last week, we sent our "Late Night" correspondent, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog -- we sent him to the third presidential debate. And afterwards -- I honestly don't know how we managed this -- Triumph was able to get backstage into the area known as "Spin Alley." Here is his report.
TRIUMPH: Tonight in Arizona, the third debate. As America again attempts to figure out which toilet to drink out of. But this is after the debate, in the spin room, where the real poop flies. Here in this poop kitchen, the spin doctors, in the grand tradition of Josef Goebbels, Baghdad Bob and Carson Daly ladle out poop stew while the aging, bloated mainstream press surrounds these turd-balls with more camera and video equipment than in Colin Farrell's bedroom. Poop Valhalla.
VARIOUS SPINNERS: Where is John Kerry's plan? We didn't hear it tonight...John Kerry hit a home run tonight....I think the president has hit it out of the park tonight. This is not a good night for John Kerry. Kerry got a plan for health care. I thought he hit a home run.
TRIUMPH: Home run!
KEN MEHLMAN : Kerry continues to end every answer with another little micro-promise. and if you have a micro-record, I guess I'd want to be talking about micro-promises.
TRIUMPH: Nasty stuff, schmuck. So tell me, how painful was it when the doctor removed your sense of shame?
MEHLMAN: What -- sense of shame?
TRIUMPH: You are an excellent spinmeister.
MEHLMAN: My mother agrees with you.
TRIUMPH: Yes. You have no shame. You'll say anything. Here's what I want to know. What if the president took a dump on stage tonight? How would you spin? Big Number Two.
