Bush's 5 hours in Iraq

The Daily Show's Rob Corddry has the recap:

The president was here for five hours. The first fifteen minutes were spent with the new prime minister, then a quick power nap to sleep off jet lag. That took two hours. Quick chat with the troops, judged a local hummus cook-off and then... With an international flight, you kinda want to get to the airport two hours ahead. You got the check-in, security, duty free shopping. (He picked up a bottle of perfume for Laura---Ahmed Chalabi's Desperation. It's an intoxicating blend of Sunni and Shiite aroma. Smells awful.)

Just his being there for five hours makes a statement. It told the Iraqi people: "I'm with you. I stand behind you. And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm getting the fuck out of here."

Or as Jon Stewart put it:
He went to Iraq and spent five hours in the Green Zone. That's like going to the Olive Garden and saying you visited Italy.
BTW, I've added a new link on the blogroll: "Late Night Political Humor." It's updated daily.
