Happy happy joy joy. The fun that ensues when you try to watch a six minute YouTube clip that you just saw on television a half hour before - and it takes about an hour to download three minutes. The clip in question was from The Daily Show, where Jon Stewart was mocking one of Dubya's speeches from last week - we here in Oz get the Daily Show in a weekly format about a week after it actually airs in the States.
Suffice to say it is a lot better to watch than take a play by play written approach to it, but the best part was that in the middle of saying the terrorists killing three thousand Americans on 9/11 - were they all Americans? I thought there were quite a few furriners in the casualty toll, but that is by the by.
While Bush was getting himself all worked up about 2001 being before the 'freedom agenda' in the Middle East, one of the press asked him what did Iraq have to do with that. Bush's face at that moment, puckering up as if he was sucking a hundred lemons, and then him asking what did Iraq have to do with what, emphasis on the what - classic. The World Trade Center, the journalist followed up, to which Bush said nothing - to which Jon Stewart cut away, but the President did splutter on a bit about trying to justify Iraqi Freedom.
Best laugh I have had in as long as I can remember, and Stewart than ad libbed with 'So why did you bring it up - no I didn't - yes you did - shut up' - and I don't have broadband to quickly download it, to bring it to my blog for the viewing pleasure. Of course, I am strange with my fascination of most things Americana though, especially Americana politicana.
Or how about that microphone being left on by that CNN anchor Kyra Phillips while she was in the bathroom and the President was doing a speech. Calling her sister in law a control freak, talking to the unidentified second party about 'those extended visits, hehehe', and telling the world that there are good men out there. I sure hope she has more than one brother, and how airbrushed is that official photo?
Broadband would be nice, there's just too much video coverage on the net nowadays - not like my day, when you had to walk through five miles of snow to catch the three hour round trip bus to get to the chatroom LOL.
OK, I'm rambling - more later
