Jon Stewart was Almost Speechless About Bush’s Torture Report – Video

It’s a rare occurrence when that Jon Stewart can’t find the words, but Tuesday was almost one of those times.

Stewart took on the newly released torture report which detailed some of the brutal activities done to others during the Bush administration, and he compared the events in the report to a movie he did on the subject of torture and how one man overcame the inhumane treatment. And in comparing the two, Stewart concluded that his movie did not even scratch the surface of torture, when compared to the report.

“It’s funny, I just made this movie about a guy who triumphs over the inhuman conditions in his imprisonment in an authoritarian country, and I don’t think they did half that shit to him,” Stewart said.

Stewart began his piece playing a clip of George Bush saying that his government “does not torture people.” Stewart then broke to a montage of clips showing Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) detailing numerous situations in the report where people were tortured and a reporter even detailing situations where prisoners were fed through their rectum, now known as “rectal feeding.”

That revelation left Stewart speechless and the only think he could do was to ask for a clip of Mr. Creosote projectile vomiting in Monty Python’s “The Meaning Of Life.”

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
