Stewart, who announced last week that he plans to support John Kerry.....down 7% from August.

I watch and like the Jon Stewart show but he is out of control. Throughout this whole election he can't come up with one witty comment about Kerry? come on, even my dog mocks Kerry and he is to lazy to lift his leg to pee.

like letterman it's sad to see another funny guy sale his soul pulling the party line.

[GeronL]

exactly

[zahal724]

Letterman is almost never funny. You only laugh 'cause it's so late (ok, only about midnight, but still).

[angkor]

Looks as if Stewart has given up on the distance he kept last election with "Indecision 2000".

Now that he's overtly chosen sides, I won't watch him anymore. He's just not funny as a partisan. Bad career move.

[jporcus]

GOOD GOOD GOOD. When will these show-biz people learn that they are NOT appreciated for their political viewpoints. I hope Stewart goes down the toilet.

[WOSG]

Dont watch his show.

There is more to life that Bush-bashing comedy.

[kezekiel]

I can't hardly stomach the Daily Show anymore... the bias is becoming more and more obvious and the jokes less and less funny.

[CurlyBill]

Jon who?

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I can't hardly stomach the Daily Show anymore

I never could

[MarineBrat]

Jon Stewart? Is that the drag queen who's going to prison?

[Senormechanico]

Tune in "The Weather Channel". It's more entertaining than Jonboy.

[Kirkwood]

Letterman stopped being funny when he left NBC.

[ArmyBratCutie]

couldnt happen to a nicer guy!!.....He and Mahr and the rest of these lunatics will one day figure out WHO watches politics and its not the lame brain Libs.....

[fabriclady]

Same here, I don't watch him, my son's do. They say "NEVER AGAIN". They have heard enough.

I can't stand the sight of him, much less, listen to him.

Stewart accused Tucker Carlson for being a partisan hack, when Stewart is clearly a partisan hack himself. What a hypocrite. Stewart excuse? His show is a "comedy" show and therefore he has no responsibility. Come on! This type of horse-shit rhetoric is every bit as stupid as the rhetoric coming from the politicians he hates (except for his dearly beloved John Kerry of course - in Stewart's eyes Kerry is a pillar of honesty). LOL!

He symbolizes everything that is wrong in America. He's a left wing partisan hack, but because he is a left wing hack he gets to claim he's "objective". In his mind, saying anything good about Bush is "partisan" and everything else is nonpartisan. Furthermore, "The Daily Show" has about 5 times as many viewers as Crossfire. In my opinion, Stewart has a GREATER responsibility for "holding politician's feet to the fire" than Tucker Carlson.

he really "Was" funny in the last election he didn't pick sides and it was very funny. i think the moment i got turned off was after the VP race. After edwards rant about cheney's daughter, cheney said thank you and let the topic change. i thought is was a great response but stewart made it out like he was too stupid to reply.

screw that, i hate crap like that. that's all he can come up with?

[Leo Carpathian]

Stopped watching that rat crapola loooong time ago. There is no more comedy, just vulgarity and stupidity.

Thanks goodness for All in the Family, Honeymooners, Bob Hope, and all the old guard of comedy.

[Boundless]

Let's see; they trade on their celebrity, and turn their
performances into political statements ...

... then pretend to be dismayed when the audience turns
their entertainment choices into political statements.

[trashcanbred]

What happened to Mish Michaels? Man she was worth watching.

[Hoboto]

Switch over to Dennis Miller! He is a post-9/11 Bush supporter.
