Don't take this wrong, overall I enjoyed it. But I can't belly-laugh at stuff like this. Not because I don't appreciate Jon Stewart, he comes out with some good stuff. But what he is illustrating, all too well, is how easily bought and distracted We The People can be. And that aint no joke.
What we desperately need, in this situation, is some biting - genuinely wounding - satire. Satire that makes it difficult for the dictatorship to continue and all we're getting is fairly harmless ridicule of the coronation process.
