11:26 pm, July 19th, 2012Jon Stewart tore into Congresswoman Michele Bachmann tonight for trying to connect State Department official Huma Abedin
to the Muslim Brotherhood by mocking the web of conspiracy she was
trying to weave, and then creating his own mind-blowing conspiracy in
order to connect Bachmann to Islamic terrorists through international
banks and pretzel companies.

Stewart opened the bit by noting that Abedin is married to Anthony Weiner,
and remarked that it would be the perfect cover for someone with direct
ties with the Muslim Brotherhood to pass a government background check,
then “marr[y] a pro-Israel Jewish guy, and begins producing
Muslim-Zionist terror baby armies.”
But what of the web of conspiracy? Well, Stewart tried to keep track
of it, remarking that the link between Abedin and the Muslim Brotherhood
is basically “six degrees of people who don’t eat bacon.” He ran a clip
of Bachmann striding down the halls of Congress trying to avoid
answering questions from CNN, saying, “If she slows down too much, her
mouth explodes with stupidity.” Then Stewart explained how easy it would
be to create a similarly ludicrous conspiracy connecting Bachmann to
terrorism.
“The name Bachman is also the name of a company that
makes pretzels. The very snack complicit in the failed 2002
assassination attempt on George W. Bush, when he choked on a Bachman
pretzel. If that assassination had succeeded, it would have prevented
Bush from invading Iraq and killing Sadaam Hussein, though, who
unconnected to the 9/11 terrorists, went to war with a country whose
border also touches the country the 9/11 attacks were launched from.”
Stewart then realized there was a much simpler connection at hand:
Bachmann has received money from HSBC, and a recent scandal emerged
connecting HSBC to terrorism. “Maybe there should be an investigation,”
he remarked.
