The Daily Show mentions overthrow apology


On The Daily Show with John Stewart yesterday, the United States' apology "to Hawaii for overthrowing its queen" got a humorous mention by correspondent Aasif Mandvi, in the context of a non-binding resolution condemning the Turks for the Armenian genocide during World War I. Crooks and Liars has the video. (Not a very humorous topic, I know, but it is The Daily Show, and the satirical point they were making is that the U.S. has apologized for the internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII and for the overthrow of Hawaii's queen, but hasn't apologized for slavery or the genocide of Native Americans.)

Update 10/17: Ryan Ozawa has more.
