Jon Stewart Calls Fox News Personalities "Extremists" For Their Coverage Of Obama's Cairo Speech (VIDEO)

Jon Stewart committed a lengthy opening segment to President Obama's speech in the Middle East last night. He explored the expectations of our president at home and abroad, looked a the rhetoric he used both to further the tenuous relationship America has with even its closest allies in the region and the rhetoric he used to ensure that no one thought he was caving on protection for Israel, advancement for women and an end to terror.

Then he got to the funny part: Fox News' crazypants coverage of the same events. The conservative news network had talking heads and anchors alike on air saying Obama buys in to extremism, that he's disingenuous, that he threw the intel community under the bus. Stewart responded to them by saying, "What a torture it must be for such pretty people to see such ugly things."

I thought the unforgivable sin was to criticize the president when he was out of the country. Remember how poutraged all the right wingers were when people didn't think Spurious George was projecting quite the right image of the United States as he strutted around the globe? Oh my! In those days, all criticism of the president was supposed to stop dead at border or the water's edge. It was treason or worse to eye Bush's actions critically or imply that his buffoonish antics were hurting the United States.

Well, that was then. This is now.

Fox News is so packed with dumbshittery, it should just move to Comedy Central.

You don't beat Fox by going onto their rigged shows and yelling, you beat Fox by pointing out just how ridiculous they are.
