Stewart Mocks a Repetitive Bush

Stewart Mocks Bush over his repetition

“Daily Show’s” Jon Stewart catches President Bush in a particularly galling repetition of phrase.

“The Daily Show” host points out that Bush had the Exact. Same. Thing. to say about the outgoing CIA chief and the current nominee.


Crooks and Liars:

What are the odds that Bush would use almost the exact same words to nominate Porter Goss, as he would to nominate Gen. Hayden? Don’t answer that.

Bush: He’s the right man—at this critical moment—in our nation’s history.

How calculated does a person have to be? I thought Harriet Miers was the most qualified person in the world for the Supreme Court until she wasn’t.

I could accept that both Goss and Hayden were the “right [men]—at this critical moment—in our nation’s history” if it weren’t for the fact that George W Bush isn’t.

I can’t say that I have a better choice for president at this moment in time, but I have to respect a war hero who speaks out against war. And there was the fact that dozens of Nobel Prize winners endorsed Kerry while condemning Bush. Personally, I would much rather have a leader flip-flop on a delicate issue than remain steadfast in a losing situation.

Ah, so someone else has noticed that many “voices”  Administration keep saying the same things!

The President and the GOP have SPEECHWRITERS! Guess here many presidential speechwriters go when new presidents come in. They go into journalism as columnists or news commentators or news show hosts etc. People like Tony Snow, Pat Buchanan and David Frum.

It was sooooo amazing to see Brian Williams on NBC nightly news show the same clip Stewart showed….and to see him give credit to Stewart! Yikes, the the “real” news is making the fake news!

Jon Stewart is like the treasure in a field we tripped over while walking one day.  He is so valuable that we sold everything so we could buy the field.  Without him, we could not know some of the most hilarious and frightening things about out government.  The question is, how many of these embarrassing revelations will it take before everyone sees Bush for what he is?  An evil clown.
