Tip Jar: Support iFaqeer's Work Directly

Wednesday, January 26, 2005

Jon Stewart is just a comedian?

I mean, here's what he said last night (paraphrasing from memory): "A third of Iran is under the age of 15. Perfect target market for one of two things; Radical Islam, or MTV. An American invasion of Iran could push it either way..."

That's trenchant, spot-on, deep and politically-informed satire, if not full-blown commentary, at it's historical best, if you ask me.

Bassam said...: I agree whole-heartedly. I'm a big fan of Stewart, and enjoy the political/social satire.; Mon Aug 22, 02:25:00 PM PDT
