Fans of Jon Stewart probably have already seen this video, but here is a ten minute segment in which he lambasts Egypt’s president for the arrest warrant given to his friend, and clone, Bassem Youssef.
It is quite funny, and biting, as is the exchange of criticism issued by the US Embassy in Cairo, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party, and the Office of the Presidency, which insists it has nothing to do with the suit. Have a look at Salama Moussa’s blog for a good run-down of the situation.
Check out this article also, by HA Heller, describing the international public relations nightmare Egypt has stumbled into. Arresting a comedian… It is comic in its own right, and Egyptians love their humor.

That is one of the best Daily Show segments I’ve ever seen. Thanks for sharing. That show is so dead on, especially when they us Morsi’s words against him.

Thanks, Jeff, you could tell Stewart was offended. We can’t watch him regularly over here, but I’ve seen enough segments to find him very clever.
