Comedy Central ^ | 8/11/09 | Jon Stewart

I have occasionally liked a clip, or something this guy has done, but aside from a few corkers, I laughed until I was nearly sick. Sometimes comedy is really capable of pointing out when people just aren't making sense.

This episode features Stewart lampooning Obamacare, The Democrat leadership, the lame denials about rationing not happening, Racial politics, Hillary's fit in Africa that will make you choke with laughter, and an interview with one of Obama's economists who he asks, "Are we broke?" and proceeds to lay out the insanity of the path our country is taking.

I just didn't expect it.

I admit that I have only seen clips of Stewart, but would have to say that, really, your heaping too much praise on the guy.

Democrats today are a whole other kettle of fish than the pols that you mention; I believe Truman and Jackson would not be Democrats today, though I susspect JFK and Tip O’Neil would be part of the death cult.

I did see an article about Stewart in the Wash Times the other day, in which he was sort of complimented by none other than John Bolton.

So, he doesn’t bait conservatives, use slimy interview tricks or act like Chris Matthews; he’s still a Dem.

Worse than being a Democrat, Stewart is a liberal elitist, which I happen to consider to be a threat to my business, an enemy of liberty and a hazard to the safety of my children and their way of life.

Ergot... he is delusional?

[dalight]

Stewart's an idiot, and the guy playing an economist on TV was so full of s*** that it is truly scary. I got to the part where Stewart is strapping on his kneepads and asking whether Obama is disappointed with the American people for not understanding his genius and just couldn't go on.

You are apparently looking the second coming or something like that in a comedy sketch. Compared to the MSM, this is a complete roast of the crap Dems have been pushing.

Still, each is welcome to their own opinions.

"Jon Stewart’s a Dem, but he’s a Dem in the mold of Scoop Jackson, Tip O’Neill, John Kennedy, Harry Truman, etc. USA first Dems - yes, wrong on many issues, but there was no dispute they put the US first."

What the hell are you talking about? The same Jon Stewart whose political agenda was to relentlessly bash Bush every single waking moment? Your credibility meter zoomed to zero.

[dalight]

Golly, I am so amazed that folks have their tails tied down so tight that they can't see the truth squeaking trough a leftist shill. Keep your crabby, hard nosed, dour expectations of what you might want to see from someone like Jon Stewart.

As for me, I was delighted.

And you didn't laugh when he pointed out that Hillary's rant about Bill, was the result of a mistranslation, making Hillary look like a complete ass.

I fell off my chair. gees people.

Yep. Normally Stewart is a complete simpering idiot. In this episode he is a simpering idiot, but he actually is making thoughtful points. The Democrats are lost and wondering in the dark, the bill has features that threaten Senior Citizens, Americans, and particularly "white" Americans feel threatened by this bill and Obama's agenda, but so are Chinese, Mexican, Black American's threatened and they are also very vocal. This is where idiots like Stewart miss the point, but he cuts into Hillary and Bill and how amateur hour these two are behaving, and he shows Goolsbie up as a complete, clueless, and reckless buffoon.

Its almost as if the MSM were to one day actually report some of the news, rather than shill.

Stewart is obviously from the Left who are disappointed that the Obama administration is blowing it, but the fact is, he points out as a major theme of the Goolsbie interview that the Obama administration is spending us into oblivion. Name one MSM source that is standing up on the table and saying, "Wake up! We can't do this!"

I have a dirty little secret.

John Stewart makes me laugh. Even when he is making fun of conservatives and I disagree with him completely. He makes me laugh while thinking “YOU ARE WRONG! But God you are funny.”

Bill Maher only wishes he was half of John Stewart.

“Everybody was townhall fighting... wah wah wah wah wahhhh... and it was legislation...”

LMAO!!

[autumnraine]

The ‘healthcare is a racial issue?’ guy was HILARIOUS!

“I thought Obama was post-racial”.

“Yes John, HE is post-racial, we are not. Healthcare is a racial issue like all issues are racial issues”.

Good grief, the sarcasm, LMAO!

He gets both sides pretty good here.

[autumnraine]

I think some people take him too seriously and take Stewart’s sarcasm for praise of Obama.

[GreenAccord]

I can’t stand to watch this crap. I shudder to think that supposed armies of Gen-Yers who supposedly get all their “news” from the Daily Show think they’re being smart and hip.

I agree with you 100%. I tell people that seem to get their main news from Stewart that I promise not to get my news from a comedian if they promise not to get their comedy from Katie Couric. Of course, it's probably not to wise to get comedy or news from either person.
