On Thursday's Daily Show, Jon Stewart lampooned former US Iraq consul Paul Bremer -- who somehow managed to lose $22 billion in cash. Said Democrat Henry Waxman (D-CA) of the US effort to send so much money to Iraq, "To do that, the Federal Reserve Bank had to pack 281 million individual bills... This money, mainly $200 bills was packed into bricks and each brick was worth $400,000 each... The cash weighed more than 363 tons." Stewart jokes that the US must have flown "dipped in gold" cargo planes into the sun.
