Jon Stewart explains President Bush’s “Iraq is just a comma” remark:
“Iraq’s a comma. Hiroshima, that’s a colon. Spanish Inquisition? That’s a tilde, one of them squiggly things over the n. 9/11 changed everything. Into punctuation.”
The folks at Language Log, however, think the comment was a veiled statement to the religious right, code for “Trust me. This is what God wants.”
Understanding conservatism is so damn depressing sometimes.
