After Donald Rumsfeld dismissed reports of a possible strike on Iran by mockingly saying, “Henny penny the sky is falling…” Jon Stewart spanked the secretary of defense with a clip of him using the same phrase three years ago–to mock the idea that Iraq was descending into chaos.


Crooks and Liars:

Jon Stewart took a look at the response from the White House over Sy Hersh’s article that discusses a possible nuclear strike on Iran.

Rumsfeld: Henny penny the sky is falling…

Rummy used the same expression when talking about early reports of violence in Iraq back on April, 11th 2003. Guess what that means?

Stewart: Holy crap we’re going to war with Iran…
