That was hilarious! Stewart does occasionally poke a light jab or two at the Dems, though it’s rare.

Some of the comments are worth hearty chuckles!

He always gets my hopes up during the elections, but then when his side loses, he goes back to being bitter and making unfunny “jokes” about just the conservatives.

Burn me once, John...

Jon Stewart was a decent comedian...a decade or so ago, when Half Baked came out. Then he decided to jump on board the Hollywood socialist “we know what’s good for you!” bandwagon, and he’s been irrelevant ever since.

The Daily Show is the same joke repeated every day for the past 8 years. Since I was in college the last 4, I got to hear the trust-fund hippies drool over him and force themselves to laugh every time he rehashed the same material, and it almost made me want Bush to lose in 2004 (because it would’ve left Stewart out a job).

Now that it’s 4 years later, the same thing holds true. When McCain wins, Stewart gets to whine on air for another 4-8 years. If the socialist wins, he’s out a job.

Great line: “Hype we can believe in.”

At the conclusion, it probably wasn’t Mile High Stadium, but the MSM news commentators or reporters who caused that last ‘activity’.

Another great bit from The Daily Show!! Thanks for posting.

If you haven’t seen it, look at the same site for The Lyin King.

Both this clip and “The Lyin’ King” were very funny.
