“I’d covered an election four times, and it didn’t appear that there was going to be anything wildly different about this one,” late-night host says in new interview

He thinks he "covered" the election?

And it didn't measure up to his standards?

He sounds a little too self-important.

Sure, like a politician or crony business executive who resigns pre-scandal to “spend more time with (his/her) family”.

Even a leftist can get tired of being bullied by other leftists.

Speaking of which, is he going to join Bill Maher over at HBO?

I'm thinking he's going to end up on Fox News, doing a segment on his buddy Bill O'Reilly's program.

“Even he can’t stomach espousing Hillary’s virtues.”

Stewart is good friends with Anthony Weiner, also a former housemate.

BTW, Weiner just appeared on CNN.

Voice of the people, my arse....

Put ALL your money where your mouth is Jon Leibowitz...or STFU.

Typical lib hypocrite, made millions off suckers, now wants time to spend it...while throwing out a few stink bombs occasionally to keep up the charade.

When will the hollywood brain-fornicated yutes ever learn...they are being used/conned by all these TV/movie/political/academia 6-7 figure paid shysters.

Problem is, the damage they are doing to the future of the country...is real.

As long as they are able to build/enjoy their own utopia, while creating a society of sheeple to continue to fund it...that's all that matters to them.

We've allowed this crud to get away with their shtick for way too long.

He did, and once it was too obvious then he really has no value appealing to the center. He’s been outed as a Bolshevik mouthpiece...

That's funny.

He actually thinks he was doing a news show.

Funny... Rush Limbaugh has faced the SAME thing, but he has not only persevered, but has thrived.

I guess poor Jon doesn’t have what it takes to cut it.

Stewart hasn’t covered anything. His role on the comedy channel was to make stupid comments to sell commercials. Unfortunately the grossly uninformed thought he was for real.
