With the death of Osama bin Laden, Jon Stewart announced Monday night that a dark period in America’s history was hopefully over, and our country was “back.”
Further, he said the news could not have been better for native New Yorkers, as the circumstances of bin Laden’s death sounded like the sort of fantasy killing a stereotypical New Yorker would concoct.
“Not only did we kill Bin Laden, but we killed him in Abbottabad?” Stewart said. “Abbottabad sounds like the name most New Yorkers would have invented for the ficitional place they would love to kill Bin Laden.”
Stewart said bin Laden’s death had dealt a serious blow to Al Qaeda, and that countries from the Middle East to the U.S. could now regain a sense of strength and freedom.
“We’re back, baby,” he said.
