Where's Shari Lewis these days?
A children's puppet TV show in the Middle East has a young boy repeatedly stabbing George W. Bush to death. I by no means supported the '03 invasion or voted for W in '04, but this stinks all around. The puppet tells the president that the White House will be transformed into a "great mosque," suggesting a mass religious cleansing. Where children are concerned, you'd think magic tricks would be more appealing than vindictive political messages. Western media does it as well, but at least we try to hide it a little better. And I know that sitting in my comfortable chair in Chicago makes it easy to comment on a way-of-life completely foreign to me, but still. The Telegraph has more.
