This is just a symptom of how low the discourse has fallen in this country. In Italy, they elect prostitutes to their national assembly. Entertainment is king. Stewart has funny words put into his mouth by writers so a segment of the population—the Tina Browns and other geniuses in the MSM—love him because of it. They can’t cognitively separate their admiration of him as a performer from their judgment of him in any other role. Thus, because he is funny on TV, he has important things to say about government. It all goes back to what is taught in schools. No one can think anymore. I guess Maher was right—people are pretty stupid.

Hillary Clinton is qualified to be president because her husband was president.

We could be looking to several more rounds of Clinton-Bush presidencies.

Colbert was invited to give his “expert” views/opinions before Congress. That about says it all.
