Jon Stewart Rips GOP, Fox News Reaction To Gaddafi's Death: 'WTF Is Wrong With You People?' (VIDEO)
Jon Stewart Rips GOP, Fox News Reaction To Gaddafi's Death: 'WTF Is Wrong With You People?' (VIDEO)

Jon Stewart and "The Daily Show" writers worked quickly Thursday to put together a show around the death of Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi. As with most major events, the media's reaction was a prime target for Stewart's mockery, but he also had some strong words for Republican senators who failed to give credit where credit is due.

Stewart kicked off the show with a lighthearted look at the 24-hour news networks' reports, most of which made Gaddafi sound like the most interesting man in the world, as well as Hillary Clinton's "Wow" moment and the Libyan peoples' joyous riots in the streets. But by the time he got to what Fox News and former U.S. ambassador John Bolton had to say, you could tell Stewart had a bone to pick with conservatives:

"Is there no republican who can be gracious and statesmanlike like in this situation? We removed a dictator in six months, losing no American soldiers, spending, like, a billion dollars rather than a trillion dollars, and engendering what appears to be good will in a people who now have a prideful story of their own independence to tell (not to mention oil, they have oil). Anybody want to give credit?"

2. John, I realize that you are just a comedienne
but even A U.N. human rights official is calling for an investigation into the circumstances of his demise.

Meanwhile the body is being kept in a freezer pending the inquiry, contrary to Islamic law.

6. So you're saying that the UN is wrong about blowing
a prisoner's brains out being a war crime.

Just where do you get your talking points?

7. WE didn't blow his brains out.
Somebody did, but it wasn't us. We were in on the air strike. Maybe you want to ask his bodyguards. Or his captors. But not us.

You are what's wrong with Democrats these days.

8. Did you use the feminine form "comedienne" on purpose?
Or are you just an ass?
