Wow, I just gotta give it up for tonight's Daily Show. In just five minutes, using nothing but news footage, news clippings and Jon Stewart, they used the whole missing WMD as a launching pad to make fun of-
-America's apathy in light of a seeming world uproar over the lack of evidence
-The whimpiness of all the leading Democratic Contenders for President
-The ever-increasing senility of Robert Byrd (D Senator from West Virginia)
-The amount of evidence the Bushie's came out with that was pulled completely out of their ass
-The shock and awe of the Bush press machine
-The utter absurdity of most of the Bushie's arguments (highlighted by Jon Stewart pointing out that the Iraqi's are so evil that they never used the WMD's that they supposedly had just to spite us)
-Bush's cowardice to actually address the issue's himself
-The utter lack of accountability, especially in comparison to Britain where Tony Blair has to go to Parliament every Sunday to confront and debate all of his opponents
-The shallowness of our Political System in which instead of debate and open dialogue, we get spokesmen giving spin.
It was sharp, it was witty, it was clever, and it was absolutely dead on. And in five minutes, it was a far more brilliant critique of the state of America than anything you'll see anywhere else.
