Even Jon Stewart gets it. Almost sounds like George Carlin.
Comedian Jon Stewart overpowered Stephen Colbert’s ability to shill on Monday, hijacking the Late Show’s return to a live (and fully vaccinated) audience with an epic rant on the COVID-19 lab-leak theory
“I think we owe a great debt of gratitude to science. Science has, in many ways, helped ease the suffering of this pandemic, which was more than likely caused by science,” Stewart said after Colbert asked how he was feeling about the scientific response to COVID-19.
“Do you mean perhaps there’s a chance that this was created in a lab?” asked Colbert, adding “There’s an investigation.”
“A chance?” shot back Stewart - kicking the door open.
“Oh my god, there’s a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China, what do we do? Oh, you know who we could ask? The Wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab. The disease is the same name as the lab. That’s just a little too weird, don’t you think? And then they asked those scientists - they’re like ‘how did this... so wait a minute, you work at the Wuhan respiratory coronavirus lab. How did this happen?’ and they’re like ‘mmmm - a pangolin kissed a turtle?’ and you’re like ‘no... the name of your lab! If you look at the name! Can I... let me see your business card. Show me your business card. Oh - I work at the coronavirus lab in Wuhan. Oh, cause there’s a coronavirus loose in Wuhan. How did that happen?’
‘Maybe a bat... flew into the Cloaca of a turkey and... then it sneezed into my chili. And now we all have Coronavirus.”
Stewart landed one final joke as Colbert desperately tried to control the situation;
“HOLD IT, HOLD IT! What about this, what about this... listen to this! ‘OH MY GOD, there’s been an outbreak of chocolately goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania. What do you think happened?’
‘Oh I don’t know, maybe a steam shovel mated with a cocoa bean?’
“Or... it’s the f▪︎king chocolate factory! Maybe that’s it!” Stewart screamed.
“Can I say this about scientists?” Stewart said after the break. “I love them and they do such good work but they are going to kill us all.”
As noted by pundit Stephen Miller, Liberal Twitter is not happy.

“but the idea of treating a truck driver as a celebrity completely disrupts my worldview.”
I honestly find the treatment of the disturbing assortment of miscreants we call “celebrities” as celebrities more puzzling. Nothing wrong with taking an interest in the commoners.....I always remember Rush’s saying about ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
It sounds a little like you’re looking down your nose at Spirit, and perhaps making fun of some day-to-day pastimes. I hope I’m wrong, as that would be rather rude, and completely uncalled for.
That looks like a fun site! Just what the doctor ordered!
Pay attention to who you are being condescending and insulting to, I’m not the one with the hat. Actually I feel sorry for you, you must have very low self esteem to feel the need to cut down someone for what they enjoy in life.
But I hope that’s not the virus you have!
Nice! Sounds like a wonderful addition to happen on your trip.
“ OH MY GOD, there’s been an outbreak of chocolately goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania. What do you think happened?’”
Looks like we get to sit back now, have some popcorn, and see the left destroy their own.
That cat is so cute! I love how they love tiny boxes. Or infant seats!
First Guatemala. Now Russia. Everyone else is seeing the truth that the Democrats are trying to hide.
“ That’s pretty brazen. ”
Like Trump said, we are not respected anymore around the world. Plus the Democrats think they are fooling everyone, not at all. They might have control of our media but not other country’s.
I think you could buy a whole bunch of coffee cups with the money you made :-) or whatever else your heart desires. You deserve to spoil yourself.
Hi CB....
I don’t have to worry about where to spend the extra money.....thankfully, the county where the mobile is going has looked after that for me! No worries at all about what to do with a little extra.....$4,000 in fees just to apply for a permit, and I’m not allowed to put in a holding tank for a temporary dwelling.....no siree Bob. A full blown, completely unnecessary, $25,000.00 septic system is the order! I can’t wait to see what other little nuggets they have in store!

U.S. retail sales fell 1.3% in May as Americans bought fewer cars, furniture and electronics. Also, wholesale prices, boosted by rising food costs, increased 0.8% in May, and are up by a record amount over the past year.

Stagflation! Yay!!
I’d bet money Erdogen is the reason the US press was not allowed in his meeting with Biden. He’s as big a thug as Putin is. When they were let in, Joe said “a good meeting we had” and “because I didn’t say anything”. Awkward!
Thank you so much for posting two videos showing antiFA changing their clothes at the Capitol on January 6. The one that is taken outdoors shows the camera going all over the place near the end and a voice saying “delete that”. The faces of the three in the outdoor video are clearly exposed. I wonder if these three have been arrested.
Something classified as a temporary dwelling needs a permanent septic? That doesn’t make any sense. I thought septics around here was about $5-6K, but that was before all the people showed up. But 25 still sounds high, you must be getting the double deluxe version:-)
Yeah I suppose you ought to wait until your new house is just how you like it, and then see if anything is left. Hey maybe you can come down and visit! Although all of us would need to get in one place to make it a reasonable trip.
I have a friend in the UK that is completely jealous over the things Governor Abbott is doing. If he got to move here he would go to Texas. I told him Florida’s governor is really good as well. But you guys also have Cruz.
I’m totally disappointed in the Tennessee rinos. Blackburn is worthless, as she showed herself to be a coward on January 6th. Tennessee State Legislature seems to be pretty rock-solid though. So the Rino Governors never get away with much.
But I miss having a vocal leader. I sure miss Trump.

The System slowly but surely turning everyone on the Right into a domestic terrorist is without question the most frightening thing happening in America today.
They’re setting the stage to use the full force of government against their political opponents. As communists do.
