The Big Dog is Back

Comedians had a field day last week after Bill Clinton traveled to North Korea to secure the release of female journalists Ling and Lee. The jokes were the obvious ones that most of us could have written, however the Daily Show showed more creative humor with their "The Big Dog is Back" piece. John Stewart had fun focusing on Bill Clinton's satisfied facial expression and welcomed its return, as if it has been missing for so long; then Stewart showed Clinton's intensely defensive expression from back when he was campaigning for Obama. It was a funny piece. Bravo to the comedy writers who don't just go for low hanging fruit. The Daily Show delivers again.
