Yes, the only way to get through those awful Bush/Cheney years was to not lose your sense of humor., hard as it was listening to the President and his snarling V.P. lie to the world about everything concerning Iraq. Thinking people (with a sense of humor) owe Stewart a debt of gratitude. The angry screechers who demonize our current President were/are all too happy with the way things went in Iraq.

Thirteen years ago, it felt like I was in a front row seat on the train to Crazy Town. That’s when the wheels began to come off the Bush administration’s argument for invading Iraq, i.e., to find the weapons of mass destruction. There were no such weapons, an inconvenient truth to which Team Bush responded with a new, after-the-fact rationale. Now, the argument for war was and always had been the need to free the suffering Iraqi people.
By itself, this steaming load of cattle waste and the smarmy self-righteousness with which it was dumped was enough to make me wander the streets muttering to myself. But what really made the steam build inside my skull was the way the American people responded to the tacit assumption that we were a bunch of compliant dopes too stupid to care that we had been baited and switched into the biggest foreign policy debacle of the last 40 years.
