:smile: Brave man.

Stewart briefly reports on the Bush 60 minutes appearance, but mainly on Condoleezza Rice and the fact that she is single. Stewart does this in comical fashion and I think he is making a point here. Sadly out of that whole meeting in front of the senate the media will only focus on that one personal attack by Barbara Boxer. Fox News wants an apology, the New York Times calls it "Purse Power", Even the Australian has a piece called "Womb War".

179 Google News results about this event and I would say about 90% of them are about the fact that Condi is single.

I loved what we found beneath Condi's clothes!
 
She is like an onion.

She makes me cry.

Any strategy aimed at ending the war will embolden the terrorists. Mr. Stewart is an emboldener I'm afraid.

Quite right. This war must continue forever, or else the terrorists have won!

all the terrorists need now is a seduction artist to charm condi and the islamo fascists will be on the brink of victory. i suggest we beat the terrorists to it and send a lesbian to charm condi. this will ensure our way of life will remain safe from danger
