Happy Hour Vid: Jon Stewart Admits He Screwed Up with Yoo

Heather Horn Jan 13, 2010
As the Atlantic Wire reported here, the left had to admit that Jon Stewart got owned by Bush administration lawyer John Yoo. Now, Jon Stewart himself admits Jon Stewart got owned by John Yoo. The comic host acknowledged on Tuesday night that guest Yoo--reviled by liberals as the mastermind for justification of torture techniques--came out on top. (Naturally, his apology came swaddled in the Daily Show's patented sardonic style.)
