The Daily Show goes to Iraq. NO, REALLY!
http://www.zap2it.com/tv/news/zap-dailyshowiniraq,0,2870000.story?coll=zap-tv-headlines


Starting next Monday (Aug. 20), "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" will air a series of reports from Iraq.

No really.

Viewers accustomed to the standard green screen "Daily Show" segments from varied locations should know that the dispatches filed for next week's "Operation Silent Thunder: 'The Daily Show' in Iraq" features were actually shot in Iraq.


How pathetic is it that the only place for real news is from a comedy show?

2. Rob Riggle
He's not only very funny on the Daily Show but he's a marine veteran. He's the one that hooked up with the troops in Iraq. This should be great stuff.

ahead of the headline news that the MSM brings us.

Much hope for the safety of all involved in the Daily Show efforts.
