Last night The Daily Show took down the reactions of Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson and Rachel Maddow to the earthquake in Haiti. “It’s times like these I guess the only good thing that you can say is that whenever something this horrific happens, everyone comes together… everyone… almost everyone…”
Of Rush Limbaugh, who lamented on his radio program Wednesday that President Obama would benefit politically from the Haiti earthquake, Jon Stewart remarked: “You know, I think I know the cause of your heart trouble: you don’t have one.”
Then it was Pat Robertson, who said Wednesday that Haiti had been “cursed” with the earthquake because long ago the country “swore a pact to the devil.” Stewart responded: “Shut your pie-hole, old man.”
Finally Stewart turned to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. On her program Wednesday night Maddow commented that bolstering USAID (the government agency tasked with providing U.S. economic and humanitarian assistance) is a major part of the Obama administration’s agenda, in contrast to “what Bush and Cheney did.”
“Not the right time!” Stewart shouted. “Congratulations MSNBC viewers, you’re on the right side… of this terrible, terrible tragedy.”
