It’s Time for Jon Stewart to Stop Hurting America

Like most writers, I dream of writing a bestseller. In recent days, there’s been an added dimension to this dream. I’d like the book to be popular enough to merit an appearance on Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show. When he asks me a question, I want to take the opportunity to tell him exactly what I think of his show and tell him to stop hurting America.

This stunt would be the same one that Stewart pulled in 2004, when he was given the opportunity to appear on CNN’s Crossfire to promote his book and instead decided to rip the show and its hosts for “hurting America” with its sharp partisan banter, which Stewart didn’t even view as real debate.

Stewart fans credit this moment with causing the cancellation of Crossfire the following year. In reality, the show had been tanking in the post-Pat Buchanan era and had a declining viewing audience. Contrary to Stewart’s self-righteous rant, the show couldn’t hurt Rhode Island, let alone the whole country. But never mind, it was Stewart’s moment to shine, even if it was the equivalent of dressing down Steve Urkel during the last season of Family Matters....

In this case I agree with Tucker Carlson.

When did John Stewart get elevated to something more than a glib buffoon on the Comedy Channel?

Mr. Leibowitz is an @$$hat. During the last writers’ strike, the buffoon was singularly unfunny. He couldn't come up with his own material if his life depended on it. Idiot.

It’s time to implement the Fairness Doctrine.

There's going to be a lot of Jon Stewart bashing so I want to jump on it right away.

Jon Stewart IS NOT FUNNY.

Anyone who thinks he is funny need serious help. He's also not very bright. OK fair enough, there's many people on TV who are not very bright. But this guys thinks he's bright and that's what drives me crazy about him.

Jon Stewart is a horses *ss.

“even if it was the equivalent of dressing down Steve Urkel during the last season of Family Matters....”

That’s a good line right there.

[Hacksaw]

John Stewart reminds me of a guy who would hit on your girlfriend at a pub or try to embarass you at a family gathering.

Write a book called “Jon Stewart Is A Big Fat Idiot”.

Heck, it might just get you into the U.S. Senate.
