This was no April Fools joke. In the first two minutes of The Daily Show on Wednesday night, Comedy Central host Jon Stewart made angry faces and told Rush Limbaugh to "Get the f out of here." He was channeling his inner Olbermann. After playing audio of Limbaugh saying he was leaving due to "absurd" New York tax hikes, Stewart angrily yelled "Finally!" to the screams of his whipped-up but always obedient liberal studio audience.
He exclaimed: "For years, for years, for years, New Yorkers have done everything in our power to get this guy to leave town!" These included: "We knew he was into drugs, so we cleaned up Times Square. We even opened up a Disney Store in the very place he would normally go to buy drugs."
He joked they bused people in for Gay Pride parades to annoy Limbaugh, hired Ivy Leaguers to play Middle Eastern taxi drivers, and declared that everyone who smokes cigars is a "douchebag." Stewart even claimed "We outlawed murder, figuring he was a guy with a taste for it."
He then ended the segment by saying, "If you're heading out from Uptown, take 42nd Street west to Ninth Avenue take a left, go down four blocks, Lincoln Tunnel's on your right, and you know what? Here's my EZ-Pass. Get the f out of here."
More screams from the Stewart mob followed. This wasnt meant to be funny. Stewart had a face that was screwed-up and angry. This is merely the latest example of how Stewart's drive-by shooting of CNN's Crossfire in 2004 was remarkably insincere. Stewart really doesn't think ideological mud fights accomplish anything -- as long as they're balanced, apparently.

(in this case, right wing conservative perspective)
As Aristotle put it, “humor is the pinnacle of intelligence”
Personally, I think it’s high time Liberals and Conservatives exercised the intelligence to laugh at themselves along with each other. In fact,
I’d stand in line from sun up to sunset to buy tickets of Limbaugh and Anderson booked an All American Parody Face off
in which the main aim would be to see which guy gets more laughs!

One sick slobbering slug after another: Jon, Bill Maher, Al Franken, Robin Williams, Giraffe-Fellow.
Is there a comedian in the house.
David Letterman Broad Ripple Class Clown Class of '65.
A vast wasteland.
Now, Mark Steyn--that is a funny chap. The others. . .
Bitter. Spiteful. Frustrated. Chafing straight jacket meets acute jock itch.
Besides--Rush hasn't lived there since 1997.
Is Bidet supposed to be a master of current events.
Oh my, who knew that New York City’s whole agenda all these years revolved around doing things to ire Rush ?

Rush could not add that many new listeners if he paid for them
What kind of a moron challenges a gunfighter?
See, I’m so ‘out of it’ because I don’t watch regular TV and can’t hear on the radio. I miss out on all this stuff and am not all that familiar with people like Jon Stewart.
.
Jon Stewart is an idiot
I think I’ll change my name to his real ethnic name
He is the type that hires WASPs to front for him
I’ve seen so many of them
Pathetic
Jon Liebowitz has never been funny. All he has is BDS.
Yowsah !!
BIG bump! bump! bump!
They almost seem worse now they are in charge than back when Bush and Republicans were running the country and everyone had jobs and their 401k’s were still intact.
