Egypt Presidency reprimands US Embassy for posting episode of The Daily Show mocking Morsi

Reminding Obama who is boss, and making sure he gets back in line after an Administration rep dared to criticize Egypt's Islamic supremacist war against free speech. "Egypt Presidency reprimands US Embassy for posting episode of The Daily Show mocking Morsy," from Egypt Independent, April 2 (thanks to Mona):

Egypt's Presidency accused the US Embassy in Cairo of engaging in "negative political propaganda" after the embassy posted an episode of the Daily Show in which the show's host, well-known American comedian Jon Stewart, slammed President Mohamed Morsy and expressed solidarity with Egyptian satirist Bassem Youssef, who presents an Egyptian show modeled on Stewart's.

"It's inappropriate for a diplomatic mission to engage in such negative political propaganda," stated the official Twitter account of Egypt's presidency in reply to the US Embassy in Cairo.

“Making fun of the president’s hats and less than fluent English? That was my entire career for eight years,” Steward [sic] said in the episode, in a nod to former US President George W. Bush, frequently a target of Stewart's ridicule.

Stewart followed with a stream of clips of him making jokes about current US President Barack Obama, "whom we supposedly like."

He added, "Without Bassem and all those journalists, and bloggers, and brave protesters who took to Tahrir square to voice dissent, you, President Morsy, would not be in a position to repress them. For someone who spent time in jail yourself under Mubarak, you seem awfully eager to send other people there for the same non-crimes, and just like you, they will only emerge from prison stronger and more determined."...
