You know, I was so looking forward to this: the day when I could again blithely watch a Jon Stewart clip, and just appreciate the humor rather than dreading the So True Good Points strewn through it like so many bone shards ground into a cheap burger.
It's still facile and oversimplified for comedic effect, but the shoe's on the other foot now, even if just to establish a pretense of bipartisanship; and whether the motivation is political education or mere ratings, it can't hurt to get people pondering the limited-after-all role the President plays in a situation of global import such as Iraq. And either way, it's good to see that the mockery-proof veil is starting to tear.
