Jon Stewart Rips Hannity's Middle East Democracy Hypocrisy

Jon Stewart highlighted what a difference a president makes when it comes to cable pundits pontificating about democracy in the Middle East. Stewart noted that a "young, not-as-fat" Hannity and other right-wingers "couldn't do enough to promote democracy in the Middle East as long as it was done at the end of George Bush's gun. But as Middle Eastern countries choose leaders for themselves? Lordy, lordy the pearls can't be clutched enough!"

Stewart summed up: "I can't tell if these guys are clueless, cynical or in denial."

I'll vote "cynical," Jon.

patrick, I agree. It was Stewart who carved out the three choices. I voted for “cynical” but your mileage may vary.

I vote for cynical. These neocons lie when it suits their purpose.

I think these republican DB’s know exactly what they are doing and that is they are putting party above country.

Oops. Forgot to vote:

All of the above plus a few other, less ladylike adjectives

I’m speechless.

But not (never) entirely: what a masterful takedown of hypocrisy and opportunism. Wow. Takes one’s breath away. Whew!

I’ll go with “all of the above.”

A good neo-con lie Dan Senor knows where his bread is buttered.

I’ll go with clueless.
