Did everyone catch the last episode of The Daily Show? The guest was David Iglesias, an evangelical Christian and dedicated Republican who was fired from the Justice Department for refusing to go along with the Bush administration’s insane scheme to destroy its political opponents by throwing them in prison on fabricated corruption charges. I particularly enjoyed this exchange:
Jon Stewart: Is the greatest disappointment for you that you were a guy who believed in what they were doing, and probably still believes in the political end of it … do you feel betrayed, in that sense?
David Iglesias: Yeah, and to use a Star Wars image … I thought I was working with the Jedi knights, and I was working for the Sith lords.
[Audience cheers]
Jon Stewart: I want to tell you something … for the audience for this show you could not have used a better example … I will see you at Comic-Con 2009.
