The only people who support Bundy&#8217;s greedy, self-serving, churlishness are fellow terrorist militiamen and Fox News hosts. But Jon Stewart, as usual, provides one of the best perspectives on the situation that captures the absurdity of the affair in an honest and hilarious manner (video below). He sums it all up by observing that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The law isn&#8217;t on Bundy&#8217;s side. The court isn&#8217;t on Bundy&#8217;s side. Even the Nevada state constitution, which Bundy claims to abide, isn&#8217;t on Bundy&#8217;s side. Who the hell is on this guy&#8217;s side? [&#8230;Cue Sean Hannity video montage&#8230;] How out there is Hannity on this issue?

And his graphic depiction of <em>&#8220;Apocalypse Cow&#8221;<\/em> perfectly conveys the radical theo-con leanings of Bundy &#038; Company. However, in searching for the Daily Show video there were some unexpected discoveries that Stewart may not have been aware of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1215758\/\" target=\"_blank\">Apocalypse Cow: The Simpsons: Season 19, Episode 17<\/a><br \/>\nBart tries to save the cow he raised for his 4-H club from the slaughterhouse, and in the process winds up getting accidentally engaged to one of Cletus&#8217;s daughters.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apocalypse-Cow-Michael-Logan\/dp\/1250032865\" target=\"_blank\">Apocalypse Cow by Michael Logan<\/a><br \/>\nIf you think you&#8217;ve seen it all &#8212; WORLD WAR Z, THE WALKING DEAD&#8211; you haven&#8217;t seen anything like this.
