The Daily Show Invents Hamid Karzai's Facebook & LinkedIn Pages (VIDEO)

On the Daily Show (weeknights, 11 PM, Comedy Central), correspondent Aasif Mandvi got to the bottom of Afghan President Hamid Karzai's love-hate relationship with the U.S. by comparing his (fake) social networking pages. Karzai only allows the U.S. access to Karzai's Facebook page, where he claims to love "blue jeans, rock n' roll music" and is friends with Dane Cook, apple pie, and baseball. But his LinkedIn page tells a different story.

Karzai only allows the U.S. access to his Facebook page, where he claims to love "blue jeans, rock n' roll music" and is friends with Dane Cook, apple pie, and baseball. But his LinkedIn page tells a different story.

Ever the businessman, Karzai uses LinkedIn to offer "a more honest look at where he wants to go professionally." On LinkedIn, Karzai dumps the American patriotism and lists Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, and Afghan warlords as contacts. While the Daily Show's pages are totally fictitious, the social networking metaphor tidily sums up the increasingly fickle nature of the U.S.-Karzai partnership.
