Truly brilliant and biting satire. If a goy comedian tried this, he'd never work again. Unless, of course, it were to be followed with the requisite mea culpa hoop-jumping.
(ever notice how anytime a truth slips from the mouth of a politician, the "i mis-spoke" tour is sure to follow?)
It's difficult to tell if satire such as this contributes to comprehension among the relatively naive, or whether it serves to perpetuate the very things which it targets.
Cogent comment friend (by the way, your handle is one of the best). Some people have complained that Stewart is just a pressure release valve, and that sentiment may have merit, but really I don't care. In the current fascist climate the mere mention of AIPAC genuflection is nowhere to be found. For Stewart to get beyond rote reportage is a breath of fresh air.
