Jon Stewart, Meet Don Stewart

With Tony Snow coming back to work next week, it’s worth now clearing up one matter involving Dana Perino and Jon Stewart.
Think Progress posted this two weeks ago:
At today’s White House press briefing, spokeswoman Dana Perino said that setting a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq is like sending a “save-the-date card to the Iraqis.” She added, “I stole that from Don Stewart,” referring to the host of the Daily Show.
Wrong. Perino didn’t confuse Jon Stewart’s name. She said “Don Stewart” and she meant “Don Stewart.” Sources tell Extreme Mortman that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s spokesman Don Stewart was the first to use that line.
