Funny stuff. Here's a video clip of
The Today Show from yesterday, where Jon
Stewart talks about President Bush addressing the United Nations General
Assembly on Tuesday, and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad doing the
same, for the 62nd annual UN General Assembly sessions in New
York.
Ahmadinejad, at Columbia University on
Monday, infamously said that homosexuality is nonexistant in Iran.
"In Iran," he said, "we don't have homosexuals like in your
country." The comment was a response to a question about executing
gay people in Iran. "In Iran we do not have this phenomenon [of
homosexuality]. I don't know who has told you that we have
it."
Bush said a lot less about Iran at his
address to the UN than was expected. He focused on other areas of
the world, specifically Burma, where prodemocracy demonstrations have
been going on. "Americans are outraged by the situation in Burma,"
he said to the General Assembly. "The ruling junta remains
unyielding, yet the people's desire for freedom in
unmistakable."
Stewart had the same response we
did...huh? Two-thirds of young Americans still can't
locate Iraq on a map! in fact, 33% of them can't find
Louisiana! Burma? Come on.
Hey, let's go ask Miss
Teen South Carolina what she thinks about this - it'll be
funny, I swear.
