I don't know if the picture was shown more than just that one time. The intro to it from the guy on the couch was that he had played a trick on one of their interns, asking the intern to get some pictures of the Lincoln-Douglas debates to illustrate the story.

If the latter, have they no Wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln-Douglas_debates_of_1858 I actually saw an exchange preceding showing of this graphic one morning.
