Jon Stewart and Bush

I don’t know if I’ve ever watched Larry King Live before, but I did the other day because Jon Stewart was on. It was good, but at the beginning I think Jon was trying to be too sarcastic because Larry didn’t know how to deal with it.
One of Jon’s points, that he’s said many times before, is still good: “How bad do things have to get for people to finally turn on Bush?” Although, if any of these new polls showing his super-low approval rating can be believed, maybe it’s starting. But seriously, if you were to list out all the things he’s done badly it would read like a sketch comedy show:
“Hahaha, wouldn’t it be funny if a US president ever:
- Invaded a country on intentionally fabricated evidence
- Started secretly spying on his own citizens
- Exposed an active undercover CIA operative as revenge against her husband
- Lowered taxes for the rich while running massive deficits
- Promised that the Iraq war would cost several billion dollars and after 3 years it’s already past 250
- Forced scientists to not publish reports because it would refute their policy
- Makes public statements encouraging the enemies in a war to attack his own troops
- Ignored a massive hurricane threatening to wipe out a very vulnerable city
- Got caught lying about skipping out on his national guard duty
Haha… gosh, good thing that couldn’t happen in reality.”
(Yes, I know there’s lots of context missing around those bullets, but that’s not the point, it’s a fictitious comedy show
