Remember when you were five and you accidentally broke your mother’s favorite vase while running in the house? Escaping blame was as simple as pointing your dishonest little finger at the nearest sibling and shouting, “He did it!”

Of course, that juvenile tactic rarely ever worked, because mom, in all her omniscience, always knew the truth. Eventually, most of us grew up and learned that harsh lesson in accountability. Those that did not became politicians and political pundits.

Last night, Jon Stewart, host of the Daily Show, took Fox & Friends to task for criticizing Obama’s senior advisor, Axelrod, for blaming the current state of the economy, the war in Iraq and the Gulf oil spill on the George W. Bush administration.

Using a concept foreign to the Republican-friendly pundits, facts, Stewart exposed their hypocrisy by stringing along a series of video clips wherein Republicans, over the past nine years, blamed everything—the economy, the war and the oil spill—on Bill Clinton.

The epic, eight-minute-long tongue lashing culminates with Stewart asking Fox & Friends, “Do you realize this shit is being broadcast… and recorded?!”

Oh, the irony of it all: a comedy show, whose sole purpose is to entertain the masses, giving a traditional news outlet a lesson in journalistic integrity.

Never change, Fox. Never change.
