Daily Show: Bush's New Homophobic, Anti-Science Surgeon General
Jon recaps the incredible testimony/muzzling of former Surgeon General Richard Carmona, Bush's extremist choice for Carmona's replacement, and the administration's disturbingly long record of suppressing science and anything contradictory to their predetermined, largely theological conclusions.

frist?

... did you miss the real story?
This is a seminal moment in the history of the US. Dont miss it. The surgeon general can hang.
Apparently to be part of Bush's team you have to be more stupid than he is. But there seem to be plenty of idiots in the United States. The supply seems to be endless.
its a crazy fucking nightmare...and we can't wakeup!!
If Richard Carmona sees a gay, what's he gonna do, hide in a closet?
anon @ 3:
In a story involving homosexuality you might want to rethink your use of the term seminal.
You know what....no matter how bush's administration tries their damned best to suppress science, it will never happen. This administration is trying over and over to strip the middle class of wealth, and knowledge so they will be tied down with the republican kingdom forever...the people of this country are not as dumb as to believe what rove is trying to pull.
Today's GOP: ensuring that scientific information and medical opinion are squelched in order to provide cover for theofascist myths....
"Much of the discussion was being driven by theology, ideology, pre-conceived beliefs that were scientifically incorrect. So I thought this is a perfect example of the Surgeon General being able to step forward, educate the American public as well as elected and appointed officials so that we can have, if you will, informed consent on an issue to the American public to make better decisions. I was blocked at every turn. I was told the decision had already been made. Stand down, don’t talk about it. In speeches where initially that information was put in speeches it was removed from my speeches…” --Richard Carmona
Keeping his Surgeon General from going to the Special Olympics - the Special Olympics - because the Kennedys support it.
"Uniter not a divider" indeed.
Last night's Daily Show was the first in a long time where I couldn't find it within me to even laugh. Either Jon wasn't his funny old self...or this country is just too far gone to elicit any kind of chuckle.
the strange thing is that he wasn't allowed to go to the special olympics because the kennedy family supports them. But really thats a stupid reason because who DOESNT support the special olympics. Is anyone on record as actually being AGAINST the special olympics???
mind boggling
Did anyone notice Jon messed up the male-female pipe joke?! Still hilarious.

Obviously Bu$h and his cretins in the admini$tration are AGAINST the special olympics.

Meanwhile, why Bush is dumbing down America, 'China announced a 15 year plan to boost science, technology, and innovation with the long-term goal of becoming a preeminent global economic and technological power'.
We should be thankful he didn't appoint one of his syphlytic, AIDS-ridden, palsied transvestite sex-changed red-necked ignorant relatives as Surgeon-General.
Or his brother.
Hey C&L, none of your clips work! None play sound! I'm using XP, and neither WMP nor QT work. I know a lot of Mac owners were complaining about the lack of sound, but Windows too? WTF? I just tested my speakers, and they play other videos just fine, except yours.
[All of the links work for me, pic and sound, download or play. I can only suggest you try again-Sitmonitor]
With a Republican Congress we probably wouldn't even heard from Carmona or his replacement.
Truly we are living under the Taliban, Ameican style. Dobson, Pat Robertson and the late Falwell must have said after the 2006 election results turned the Congress over to the Democrats, "damn, just a few more years, we would have had them all."

Is he a heavy smoker too?
Pipes and plumbing, huh?
Having our sexuality determined by simple-minded males who show their ass-crack and overcharge you whenever they can worries me a bit. Besides, engineers have invented male to male connectors....explain that.
No sound. No sound on any videos on the main page. Neither Windoze media nor QuickTime.
Whassup? Is the NSA fiddling with your content?

I'm going to post this amnonymously because I know I'm going to be majorly flamed, but I'll say it anyway. What has happened to the Daily Show? I used to love it, but something has happened and Jon Stewart has, in the past couple of months, begun to behave frenetically. I don't get it. A little mugging and overdoing it is ok, but Stewart seems to have morphed into Jerry Lewis at his worst. And it's inexplicable, because Stewart has been excellent these past few years. Why is he behaving like an immature 14 year old with ants in his pants? Is he worried that Colbert might outdo him in the adolescent audience numbers? I know lots of adolescent boys like Colbert's show because of his sci-fi Star Wars Dungeons and Dragons Lord of the Rings bona fides. But Jon Stewart, please go back to being satirical and smart-funny instead of spazzed-out yuk-yuk ,getta loada my funny faces and funny voice dumb-funny. We miss you.
OK, now the rigid ideologues can decide that I am a freeper spy and start with the flames.

It's an appropriate amount of physical absurdity to match the enormous absurdity coming from the White House.
He was denied speaking at the special olympics for children, because democrats supported it!?!? WTF!!!
Hey C&L - why don't you get that interwiev with Blitzer up, so everyone can see that the Bush government put party before even SPECIAL OLYMPICS FOR CHILDREN!!!!

It is no laughing matter and should not be stuck in as a segment of with Jon's show.
This is something one should be able to link to that when one discuss political matters with christian friends!
Uh huh. The thing is, they are, though.
