The Daily Show Reports from Iraq...No, Seriously


Come Monday, Comedy Central's The Daily Show begins Operation Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.

Comedy Central released this statement regarding the special reports: “Join The Daily Show with Jon Stewart for ‘Operation Silent Thunder: The Daily Show in Iraq,’ a week of special reports filed from Iraq. Yes, actual Iraq, not green-screen Iraq. Daily Show senior war correspondent Rob Riggle will provide in-depth coverage and insights from the front lines throughout the country where he was embedded with the troops and learned just how hot 120° really feels.”

Riggle himself is a major in the United States Marine Corps Reserve, where he served in Liberia, Kosovo and Afghanistan.

Rush Limbaugh, your Hummer is waiting....hump that rucksack, soldier!

What A Joke--Jon Stewart v. Network News

Rich Rojas has written an interesting opinion piece for the Blatt.com, the online version of Texas A&M's student newspaper.

The Daily Show and broadcast news include all the same parts: a congenial anchor and a staff of correspondents on a flashy set, interviewing big name guests. The difference is one is a parody, while the other is the real deal - but deciphering which is which seems to become harder every day.
In three short sentences Rojas explains the debacle at CBS News.
Last summer, CBS thought after the forced retirement of 76-year-old anchorman Dan Rather, it would be a time to spiffy up the newscast for the much-desired younger audience. Their solution: Katie Couric. In their minds, they revolutionized the CBS Evening News by bringing in more features such as "exclusive" photographs of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' baby, and an anchorwoman who has as less journalism gravitas than Stewart.
Of course, the result is that CBS news is in the dumper with lower ratings than at any point during Rather's tenure. Maybe CBS should try using talented comedians to cover real news instead of asking professional journalists to cover fake news. As for Katie Couric, maybe they should buy her a pony. The people running network news, and especially CBS, might want to read the Texas A&M student newspaper.

Monica Goodling and JiffyLaw

OK, you now know what site I was looking at this morning. Crooks and Liars has also posted Jon Stewart's take on Monica Goodling and Regent Law School. Again I don't know how to post the video so follow the link. Here is a link to an older Bill Maher take on Regent University.

Jon Stewart Examines The Media's Reponse To V-Tech

Crooks and Liars has posted Jon Stewart's take on the response of the media, especially the Media Whores (tm) of Cable TV, to the Virginia Tech Massacre. You can follow the link to the Video. I would post it here but I don't want to run afoul of Comedy Central's copyright team. Well, actually I don't know how to do it, and saying that I am worrying about copyright makes me sound more lawyer like and less like a dolt.

Hey everybody, I added an image of Jon Stewart. Isn't that Glenn Beck over his shoulder? Cool
