Kesher Talk

John Stewart ("The Daily Show") on Middle East peace: From last night:

"Genuine change was at the core of the President's demands, starting at the top, with Bush stating, quote: 'The Palestinian state will never be created by terror; it will be built through reform. And reform must be more than cosmetic change.' That last sentence, of course, a clear reference to the recent nomination of 'Yassira Arafatwa' for new Palestinian chairwoman.'"

"Actually, Bush did not mention Arafat by name once during his speech, a tactic that backfired after Bush called for the Palestinian leader's removal, and Arafat was overheard telling an advisor, 'I'd hate to be 'that' guy.'"
