Stewart Makes a Prophetic Bush-Merkel Sexual Joke

Email this item Email    Print this item Print   
Posted on Jul 17, 2006
Jon Stewart

“The Daily Show” host was just being playful last night when he joked that President Bush could have been caught on the open mike talking about German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s “camel toe” (a lewd sexual reference). But in light of the now-infamous unsolicited massage Bush gave to Merkel, Stewart is looking prophetic all of a sudden.

(Seriously, what are the odds? Jon Stewart was joking about worst-case scenario--of Bush making an innappropriate sexual gesture towards Merkel when he thought no one was looking--and then it actually came true the very next day!)

Watch it:

Partial transcript:

Stewart:

Naturally the media making a big deal out of the President cursing. ‘Ooooh salty language.’ Do you know how lucky we are that that was all that was caught? I’m impressed the President was on topic. You know, there’s just as good a chance that the microphones could have picked him up pointing out some Merkel camel toe. We don’t really know. Talking about a rash on his balls. At least he was on topic, people.

Are there any limits to the hypocracy of a liberal? Pres. Clinton raped two women, and violated the sexual harrassment legislation that he himself signed into law (Monica) and liberals don’t say anything, except “He’s our guy!” Pres. Bush gives a quick massage to Merkel (inappropriate, yes--the end of the world as we know it, no) and the left wing bananas get their panties in a bunch. Good grief, people! Ask the wizard for a brain!

nick archambault-- are you kidding or stupid?  Merkel looked totally disgusted.  That gesture says, “Get the heck off of me!” and nothing else.  You aren’t one of those guys who attacks women and tell the police “She wanted it” when they arrest you… are you?  That attitude is just wrong and totally offensive.

I wonder why none of the networks has decided to carry this sensational story about Bush groping other countries leaders?

See the video here:

Perhaps they are too busy replacing the word IRAQ with Lebanon in all their old stories.

If Bush actually had any animals on his magical playtime ranch, he might have stepped in it...but all he has is a bunch of brush.

I wouldn’t want that stuff on my boot, much less in my mouth.  You’d think that a guy who has supposedly walked around his ranch would have stepped in enough shit to keep it out of his vocabulary.
