Best Daily Show joke I've heard in a long time... and it was a pun!

Last night’s Daily Show had a clip of the pope visiting the Middle East, and he gave a speech in which he mentioned the “Jews killed in the [Hebrew word for holocaust].” Jon Stewart said that the locals couldn’t possibly find anything to complain about, and then showed a clip of a Jewish man saying that the pope should have used the word “murdered” instead of “killed.”

Jon came back and said, “So now you’re accusing the holy father of being anti-semantic?”

I laughed. In MPSIMS because there’s no real discussion here, but if this would be served better in CS then be my guest.

I saw that and thought it was exceptionally clever. Not really all that outright funny, but still very good. And you could tell Stewart loved it too.

Bennie and the Jews. Legs Benedict. That segment was full of cute wordplay.
