The Daily Show - Jon Thanks the Troops
Get More: ,,
Comedian Jon Stewart just returned from a USO tour in Afghanistan, and he had a few things to say about it. Note the reaction of his audience. America may be less divided than we think.
Stewart, by the way, deserves a lot of credit for going. There's a large segment of the entertainment industry that can't be bothered.
Thanks so much for sharing this. It's always gratifying to see "love of country" given a shout-out by hip, progressives like Stewart.
ReplyDeleteDare I be cynical? Were Obama not Commander in Chief; were this not "Obama's war" instead of some other president's war, would Mr. Steward have invested similar time and the energy?
ReplyDeleteWell, I suppose you can Steve. For my part, I think it was simply a decent and comendable thing to do.
ReplyDeleteAl Franken did the same thing in Iraq while Bush was president on several tours, bringing our troops a comedy act during some very dicey times, and I likewise highlighted it.And you know I don't agree with his politics!
People are not all of a piece and I try to work with the decent part of people and oppose the indecent.

Rob
