Funny Dose – Jon Stewart on Hurricane Sandy

Today’s Funny Dose is brought to you by the good folks at The Daily Show, longtime Soapblox.com favorites. Jon Stewart is good and cutting through the crap. His recent response to Hurricane Sandy, which canceled 2 episodes this week, is no exception.

Jon’s tribute to Institutional Competence doesn’t seem to happen much these days.

As Fox News proved it was more concerned with the election than about the people hit by the storm. I mean seriously, Fox News programs are mostly filmed in Manhattan, which was hit hard by Sandy and they were  more worried whether Mitt Romney was going to get time with Governor Christie of New Jersey.

Oh but I bet they weren’t expecting Christie’s response!

Much to his credit, he praised Obama. Much to his discredit, he criticized Obama for failing to show any “leadership” and wouldn’t likely get it in 18 days (until the election at the time), calling Obama a guy fumbling around in the dark looking for the light switch. As Jon Stewart points out: “I guess he found the fucking light switch!”
