The Daily Show’s Rob Corddry reports on the President’s Veterans Day speech. Bush attacked Democrats for “re-writing” history and sending “mixed messages” to the troops. The Democrats and others have been critical of the Administration for misusing intelligence and misleading the country into the Iraq war.
Corddry reports that “getting us out of Iraq is going to require tremendous misleadership…” He continues by saying:
“If we were wrong about why we went in; we have to be wrong about why we are leaving.
Otherwise, Jon, it sends the enemy the message that America lacks the will to remain incorrect.”
Hilarious. But troubling. I wonder what is next when humor is closer to the truth than everyday conversation.
I noticed that the republicans defeated a democratic bill to begin withdrawal from Iraq. They replaced it with a plagarized and watered down version.
But still, it fits in with the Daly Show humor, which is closer to the truth than the MSM slop and swill.
Great stuff. It reminds us of Sen. George Aiken, that wise old owl from Vermont, who said during the Vietnam War, "Let’s just declare we’ve won, then leave."
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but two lies might make a good exit strategy.
Jon Stewart is my hero.
That’s @#$%ing hilarious.
That clip rocks.
He ougtta get a Pulitzer 😀

These guys are comic genius’s! They always make a real point, but in an intricately funny way. Sheer comic genius! Something rightwingers can’t comprehend. Ever notice, rightwingers aren’t funny? It takes intelligence to be funny!
Quick! Name a funny Republican! There are none! Don’t say Dennis Miller…he’s not funny…
They are the Beatles of political satire!
It’s great! Important to retain humor, as the administration is a tragical farce 🙂
