I wasn't really interested in CPAC, especially what Rush or Ann Coulter had to say and expected to find them as irritating as always.
But what I found really odd about that clip was how the Daily Show commentary seems to misrepresent most of what was said. There was no call for the destruction of an American city, simply the acknowledgment that it might be the threat posed by Iran. Kerry was the the only veteran mocked and I suspect the laughter had very little to do with his veteran status. The comment about the founding fathers and guns was pretty clearly about the 2nd amendment to me.
(Rush is going to talk crazy and it's totally open season on him as far as I'm concerned. I'd prefer a direct renouncing by Steele rather than the backtracking today.)
As I've said before, I don't really find most of the Daily Show funny. I think the comedy bible idea was, but after that it's just John Stewart being smug and not particularly witty.
