In a related item to two recent posts I’ve written (here and here), Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart (a William and Mary alum, by the way) pokes fun at the media coverage of Obama’s trip:

Nick, you are easily entertained. That was about the non-entertaining thing that I have ever seen. It wasn’t even funny. It was a FLOP.

I see he learned the lesson of civilians wearing battle gear-they look stupid. Funny stuff.
Presumptive GOP nominee John McCain had this to say about the media coverage of Obama’s Middle East trip;
“Whine, whine….WHINE!!! whine…..”
Some say McCain’s comments only go to prove his former campaign co-chair Phil Gramm’s contention that; “Americans are just a bunch of whiners!”
And so it goes….
Alex Mayer is an undergraduate fellow on the editorial board. He is a rising senior at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va., where he is majoring in Government and Middle Eastern Studies. He hails from the quintessentially all-American Chicago suburb of Libertyville, and confesses to being a Cubs fan.
Truly hilarious. And hilariously, true.
