John Stewart - Dumb as an Afghan Hound?

John Stewart - Dumb as an Afghan Hound?

Last night during a South Park break on Comedy Central, that smarmy John .. The Daily Show guy ... Stewart.  John Stewart popped up with a promo for that night's show. It dealt with how Bush is listening to your phone conversations.  Of course, Stewart's job is to promote the DNC's Daily Message through humor, and he does a good job of doing just that, but this parallel came to mind.  If we rated human intelligence the same way we score dogs, Stewart would be an Afghan Hound .  That's right.  Dog breeds are rated for intelligence by the number of times a command must be taught before it will be understood and obeyed.  Here, for the 52 time this  week, I will attempt to get Stewart to heel with an irrefragable truth. ''First of all, let’s be clear; they are not listening in on the calls; they are merely collecting data that tells them that calls were made from one number to another. The data will be fed into highly sophisticated computers, and used to establish patterns of communication from suspected terrorist groups to and from their allies and operatives in the US. Prominent media which have deliberately confused this activity with listening in on phone conversations should be ashamed and held to account. ''Those who are trying to clobber the president with this latest episode of “Fear Factor,” are the same people who would stop at nothing to get the Democrats back in power. The shame of it is that they don’t mind risking another 9/11 to do it. '' [The Sky is Falling Again] Woof.
