Why does Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi refuse to step down, despite the escalating violence in his country as Libyans demand that he do just that? Because he’s whacked out on drugs — and probably read too much Camus, according to Jon Stewart.
Stewart was incredulous Wednesday night about an interview in which Qaddafi said that he could not be asked to step down because Libya does not, in fact, have one leader. Rather, he claimed, it is a state run by all of the Libyan people.
“That is some existential bullshit,” Stewart said.
“You cannot fire Muammar Qaddafi, because Muammar Qaddafi does not exist,” he added.
Further, Stewart explained that Qaddafi was wearing dark sunglasses throughout that interview to hide his dilated pupils.
“No wonder you’re wearing sunglasses,” Stewart said. “You’re high.”
