Stephen did with words, what should have been donw with a whip. A brutal and deserved lashing of those who have abandoned their public trusts and responsibiilites. The press and the president got what they deserve and the only tragedy was that it was only one day of the year. They should have to go thru this once a week for their entire careers.
The media controls the populace thru bland news & constant terror and they do so at the instegation of their masters in the ruling class. Aldous Huxley would have loved to have seen this 'event', it stripped the veneer of bullshit off of those in attendance and revealed the box of snakes we have in our midst.
Kudos to Stephen and those who recognize it was about more than humor, including the few brave members of the press willing to confront their own shortcomings and those of their peers, a very tiny number, indeed.
