Leave it to the comedian

It's not the first time that Jon Stewart -- a real newsman masquerading as a comedian -- has been the only one in the media to render a smack-down where it's needed.

Last week, Dick Cheney made his snide comments undermining the withdrawal of combat troops from Iraqi cities, saying he hopes that "all the tremendous sacrifice that has gotten us to this point" won't be wasted. Thanks a bunch, Mr. X-VP. That's a real help for troop morale.

Why are the news people afraid to call him on his darkness and deceit?

It was only Jon Stewart, as far as I know, who pointed out that this timetable was an agreement between the Iraqi government and the bush administration. Remember, Mr. X-VP, that's the one where YOU pulled the strings that directed the puppet's actions?

Of course, the X-VP's influence had waned a bit by that time. Maybe that's what's got his dander up. Maybe he didn't approve the timeline.
