COMEDY PUNCHES THE MUSLIM THUG & A PHOTO SPRING

DIPLOMACY BY RIDICULE
     Egyptian president Morsi, who is thugging his way along a path of repression and regression got mugged last night.  In a brilliant bit of "in your face" diplomacy, comedian and commentator Jon Stewart decimated the Muslim Brotherhood zealot.  Stewart defended his friend
Bassem Youssef, who has been called the Egyptian Jon Stewart.  
        Stewart's work, especially the last couple of minutes of the bit, beautifully demonstrates the difference between a nation of freedom and a place where zealots and fundamentalists would seek to blot free expression.
       This Washington Post piece provides good context, explanation and a link to Stewart's masterful defense of freedom.
       The visual quality is not quite as good, but this YouTube video also reprises the powerful performance.
      Do yourself a favor, spend a few minutes being entertained and come to see how precarious freedom can be.
