Video: The Daily Show Tortures a Camel in Madison
Weekly Standard ^ | 02/23/2011 | JOHN MCCORMACK

Posted on 02/23/2011 10:06:49 AM PST by OldDeckHand

No joke: The Daily Show brought a camel to the protests in Madison the other day, presumably to help make fun of the Cairo/Madison comparisons. As this video shows, the gag didn't turn out so well:

Who knew that an animal indigenous to the Middle East couldn't walk on snow and ice in the Midwest? Local firefighters eventually rescued the camel. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the Daily Show didn't use any footage of the camel in its Tuesday night broadcast.

Update: If I'm not mistaken, it appears that Daily Show correspondent John Oliver walks in front of the camera at one point and urges the man shooting the video to turn it off. Censorship!

Before I moved from Wisconsin in 1981, I was in the Zor Shrine Camel Patrol. I was privileged to train and care for the camels in the Patrol that used to be housed at the Vilas Park Zoo. I understand that the liberals forced them out subsequently.

Camels are interesting animals and very affectionate to those who treat them well and unforgiving to those who do not. They also can spit like you wouldn't believe!

I would love to see this camel spit on a J. Daily, spread-eagled against a wall!

What idiots. It’s a no-brainer that camels would not like being in the snow and ice. Obviously the “Daily Show” has too much money for their childish pranks. I hope the poor camel is okay. Is an unnecessary stress and trauma for the animal.

Arthur Carlson (WKRP)thought turkeys could fly.
John Stewart (Daily Show)thought camels-from a hot arid desert-could walk around on ice and snow.

These progressives are not too bright

This ought to make the idiots on the Daily Show really squirm, which means the MSM will do everything they can to bury the story.

Wild turkeys can fly. Domesticated, farm-raised turkeys cannot.

You fail to differentiate between domesticated turkeys and wild turkeys.

http://www.norcrossws.org/html/wild_turkey.htm

“Flying: Turkeys are fantastic fliers for short distances. They can take-off like helicopters, going allmost (sic) straight up. And when they fly straight ahead, they go fast. A wild turkey was clocked at 55 miles per hour.”
