Jon Stewart on Obama Speech

The Jon Stewart bit last night was genius, just genius:

fav parts:

"we all love Jesus, but why do you have to be so black and angry about it ?"

"we get it, the holidays at your house are CRAZY"

the car alarm motif

"by the way, those are the 2 meanest interns we've had"

The bit with Larry Wilmore - good Lord, that is just sublime.  Better & more nuanced than most diversity training I've ever been in.  Coltrane into Kenny G, car stereos, Starsky & Hutch.

There is no more direct way to say it than Jon Stewart did:

At 11am on Tuesday Obama spoke to Americans about race as though they were adults.
