The Inauguration: Jon Stewart and more.

[Eric J in MN]

Bush was inaugurated for the second time on Thursday morning.

Jon Stewart

There is more hypocrisy involved in this inauguration than any one person could cover.

Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show" did a fine job of covering some of it, though, on Thursday night..

To watch his reaction to George W. Bush's second inauguration speech, click below, and go to "Freedom and Liberty Bush Counter" (video via the blog "Crooks and Liars")

Jon Stewart responds to Bush's inauguration speech

For those of you who can't play the video, it shows Bush saying "I, George Walker Bush, do solemnly swear..."

Then Jon Stewart says, "At which point, 49% of the country also solemnly swore."

Then the video shows Bush repeating the words "Freedom" and "Liberty" with a counter displayed (Freedom: 27 times in the speech, Liberty: 15 times).

Jon Stewart says that ":Liberty" couldn't compete "Freedom" since liberty was hurt by the Patriot Act.

The video also shows Bush saying to the world, "When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you."

Jon Stewart adds, "Offer not valid in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan...."

1. I can't remember what Chimpy said right before this line, but

Stewart got this shocked look on his face and said, "Oh, my God, was he just elected president or Dungeon Master?" Funny. Wish I could remember what the BushBot said right before the line because it was truly scary and Stewart had the perfect response. The Daily Show and Stewart rock!

2. I think it was something like "the untamed fire of liberty is on the

way to the dark corners" or something like that. Jon Stewart rocks. And he's just a class act, I respect the way he treats all of his guests on the show.
