John Yoo on Daily Show is CHILLING

[Stinky The Clown]

This is one sicko motherfucker.

SICK.

He does, indeed, sound like some Third Reich insider. I know we're not supposed to say that, but damn. He's cold.

[MannyGoldstein]

1. He Says That Obama's View On The Presidency Is The Same As His

And people wonder why I say "We've lost - game over"

[HughMoran]

14. And if Yoo says it, it must be golden

I guess your right-wing roots are showing ;)

[11 Bravo]

34. When you finish quoting Yoo, let us know what John Bolton says. No doubt that's equally true.

[valerief]

2. Yoo is cold but Stewart's got his head in icewater! nt

[mrcheerful]

3. Yeah like how he knows he is lying but is trying to make it sound like he isn't

lying. Kind of reminds me of the guy before him with his terrorist attack numbers.

[rwheeler31]

4. How can a man sit there and smile after what he has done?

He is so ugly.

[liberal N proud]

8. No conscience.

[Stephanie]

23. = Sociopath

[MadBadger]

5. He NEVER met Bush

WOW

[valerief]

9. I think Prezdent Cheney was the Master Sadist. nt

[rwheeler31]

13. Federalist society bull carp.

[HughMoran]

17. I was thinking "whaaat? did he really say that?"

Did he really say he never met Bush?

[Stephanie]

22. Probably deliberate

They insulated Bush. He's a measly coward and he didn't want to be prosecuted when Cheney's evil deeds were uncovered.

[tularetom]

27. Either that or Cheney kept the details from him

because he knew the dumbass would get drunk and blab.

[Marr]

6. What's chilling is that his ideas on government are openly accepted

by our political leaders, without any concern for the public response. They seem to assume the public is comprised of fat, lazy, impotent sheep.

Frankly, I think they may be right. The people in this country seem to have grown increasingly ignorant, increasingly apathetic, and increasingly desirous of a dictator who can just solve everything for them.

[progressoid]

7. He is definitely one fucked up dude.

[liberal N proud]

10. I wonder if he was tortured as a child

For him to think this was normal and OK, he must have grown up with that idea instilled upon him somewhere.

[Orrex]

24. Nah. He could simply be a functional sociopath.

No need to put the blame on his parents or some traumatic event from his childhood; it's entirely possible that he became an evil, sadistic asshole by choice.

[Gregorian]

11. Darn it! I lost my satellite feed just as he went on. It's pouring rain here.

:(

I'll catch it later. But meanwhile thanks for the comments. I figured it would be pretty disgusting.

[Mind_your_head]

12. Is there a link for the 'cableless'? eom

[Gregorian]

15. The full video is up on the Daily Show website. (or maybe not)

I'm off to go find it. I'll send the link when I do.

I don't see it, of course.

[Stephanie]

20. Here

I don't think it's up yet tho.

[tulsakatz]

29. they usually don't post videos until 24 hrs later......

...it will probably be there tomorrow. Or you might try youtube

[Mind_your_head]

39. Just watched the whole thing.....

*ICK* @ YOO

and

*ICK* @ how JS ended the whole interview

excuse, excuse, excuse YOO....

*ICK* Off to take a shower now.....

[dixiegrrrrl]

16. Stewart came up with some great questions.

and Yoo had to do some tap dancing to avoid the obvious implications.
All that lawyer-ese.

And not one word from our "Dem" administration.

[Vadem]

18. Jon Stewart FAILED! It was all a great big joke to Jon and ...

he didn't understand what was at stake--it was all a great big ole joke!!!!

I am totally disappointed in Jon Stewart. He totally failed!

[MadBadger]

21. I think You Failed.

[Bucky]

25. How is the Comedy channel's fake news program a failure if it makes a joke

Stewart is an entertainer, first. It's not his job to break down creeps like Yoo.

Stewart trusts his audience to be smart, to see things for themselves. He's always played to the smart set of viewers. Yoo doesn't have to end the segment in tears in order for the average viewer to see him for what he is.

[Atman]

26. Did you miss your meds?

You don't think Stewart "understood" what was at stake? Some of the toughest questions ever put to Yoo, in a very brief period of time, which will finally be seen by millions of people.

WTF was he supposed to do? Jump him and put him in cuffs, then call for the waterboarding team?

Holy shit.

.

[aquart]

30. What part of "Comedy Channel" is unclear to you?

[rcrush]

37. What interview were you watching?

[FourScore]

19. It just sounds better in the original german. n/t

[jgraz]

28. He's equally chilling in person

I've seen him a couple of times around Berkeley. He really gives you the creeps.

[Gregorian]

31. Be sure to make the sign of the cross so he can see, next time.

In Berkeley no less. Like a walking black hole. They should pass an ordinance. No Yoo in B.

[jgraz]

32. The first time, I didn't know who he was.

I saw him while we both were driving. He definitely has a creepy demeanor.

[dflprincess]

33. Doesn't he remind you of the sort creepy character Peter Lorre played on occasion? (nt)

[marmar]

35. This man shouldn't be walking the streets without a tether, let alone teaching at Cal Berkeley....

[RamboLiberal]

36. I get the feeling that someday some ahole Repuke president

will nominate You for the SCOTUS. IMHO another mistake of the Obama administration is not going after Yoo.

[Octafish]

38. Like a NAZI.

Cuz he is and they are. Anyone who OKs the torture of another human being -- including children -- is a fascist or a psychopath.

[Hekate]

40. I'm watching it online now. Jon Stewart is doing his usual well-prepared challenge...

Jon Stewart is very, very good at what he does. And Jon is very, very angry at Yoo.

I'd like to say Yoo was pwned, but he is so slick and slippery and smooth that he appears to be coated with something. Wonder if it would be "torture" if someone tried to boil it off of him...

And UC Berkeley has him teaching the next generation of Constitutional lawyers? God help us all.
