Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on last night’s edition of “The Daily Show”:

Jon Stewart opened with a replay of Lawrence O’Donnell’s recent bigoted tirade against Mormons that aired on MSNBC. Here is what Stewart said next:

Stewart was then interrupted with laughter, but not before they showed a huge picture of a pregnant Virgin Mary on the screen. He then made a light joke about Buddha. As usual, he had nothing insulting to say about Judaism or Islam.
