I really think that the biggest joke played here is one on the American people. The joke is poorly worded, but it's clearly at the expense of Bush and not at the troops. Apparently, the troops in the photo above were not bright enough to understand this, which ironically kind of legitimizes the misinterpretation of the joke. Plus there's really nothing more pathetic than a joke about a stupid person that stupid people don't get. Then the media jumped all over it which forced an apology from Kerry's dumb ass. Let's make one thing clear...George Bush has NEVER made sense when he speaks, yet he's never had to apologize for it. Kerry made things convoluded, but at least he eventually made sense. Bush makes up words and twists things into his own warped perspective of world ideals. If ANYONE needs to apologize for ANYTHING it's Bush and he needs to do it roughly 300 times. I figure that's a good rough estimate of how often he's mispoken and/or outright lied to the American public.

And Chris...really...no one's claiming that The Daily Show is real news. Well...it sort of is, but with a comical perspective. The point is that, while John Stewart does tend to lean more to the left, he gives it pretty good to both sides. Hell...his show even spawned The Colbert Report...Stephen Colbert's character on the show is so far to the right that it satirizes itself. That would be funny if it weren't horribly depressingly true.
