The “joke” was that these right-wing zealots weren’t giving the new president enough time, that the previous president did worse things, and that I, in particular, was ridiculous for blaming the president for “St. Patrick’s Day” becoming “Potato Day” at my kids’ public school. (Yes, the name change took place. No, I did not blame President Obama — specifically.)
As is his style, Mr. Stewart took wildly out of context my clip from Fox News’ “Hannity” in which Sean and I discussed the Obama administration’s decision to call the “war on terror” an “overseas contingency operation,” and “terrorism” a “man-caused disaster.”

which Mr.
And why has the King's English been taking such a savage beating for so long?
Well, frankly, one very big reason is because the people who really own and operate this country -- people like the Washington Time's Ultra Conservative owner and Cult Leader Sun Myung Moon and Fox News' Chief Gorgon Roger Ailes (both of whom make no small contribution to Mr.
Actually that Carlin fella that Mr.
So I just wanted to take a moment from the busy work of destroying America to wish Mr. Andrew
At your age, Mr. Mr. Andrew
