On Last Week Tonight, John Oliver recaps a stellar week in which the Supreme Court got busy, the ACA stays, and CNN reporters alone, worldwide, spotted an ISIS flag at a London Gay Pride event. What could it mean?!
Let’s throw to CNN, reporting in that rapid-fire style that tells you this is urgent and important! “An unnerving sight today at a London gay pride celebration. An ISIS flag among a sea of rainbow colors.” Lucy Pawle realizes she is scooping news agencies worldwide, reporting: “I seem to be the only person who has spotted this, and nobody is raising any questions or pointing it out!”
How odd, people are oblivious to the ISIS symbol, and not at all curious!
Cue Terrorism expert Peter Bergen, perhaps he can explain such an odd juxtaposition. He did not. However all was eventually revealed – perhaps by a stage hand, much to the chagrin of CNN hosts who had spent over seven minutes on the terrorist link, that wasn’t a link.
Bergen later admitted, “I don’t know what a dildo looks like.” Oh, and the other thing on that flag – forgeddabout it!
Did you know the Supreme Court made another decision this week? Apparently Obamacare – quite fortunately, is like Keith Richards – and we’re all ‘Happy’ about it!
Sore loser Scalia channeled a victorian spinster, responding with “absurd interpretive jiggery-pokery” and “Pure applesause.” Well, fripple dripple, horse feathers and f’tang! f’tang! to you too Justice Scalia.
Find out what the Ukraine, their past president and Hot Ostrich Sex have in common, then watch to the end, for more of the “Hot” stuff. I presume the lady Ostrich does the bird equivalent of ‘thinking of England’ until it’s over.
