This is probably going to generate a lot of outrage so it might as well be posted

Just to make myself clear. I like The Daily Show. Every once in a while they do a bit that falls flat but I am still a fan. Just the same, while this probably sounded awesome on paper, it didn't work out so well in reality:

Madison -- Adding to the tragi-comic feel of the day, a camel showed up during Monday's protests and then fell on an ice and slush-covered street near the Capitol square .

The camel was brought by the comedy news program The Daily Show, which is preparing a report on the demonstrations against Gov. Scott Walker's budget bill. Demonstrators have repeatedly compared the events in Wisconsin in recent days to the pro-democracy movement in Egypt, providing an opening for satirists.

After several minutes, firefighters free the camel and the animal is able to stand up and walk.

Good grief.

Elected officials can't be bothered to show up and support workers, but the comedians are all over it
