Jon Stewart’s secret White House visits
Politico ^ | 7.28.15 | Darren Samuelsohn

Posted on 07/28/2015 5:11:29 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

Jon Stewart slipped unnoticed into the White House in the midst of the October 2011 budget fight, summoned to an Oval Office coffee with President Barack Obama....

In February 2014, Obama again requested Stewart make the trip from Manhattan to the White House, this time for a midmorning visit hours before the president would go before television cameras to warn Russia that “there will be costs” if it made any further military intervention in Ukraine....

Top Obama aides David Axelrod and Austan Goolsbee knew Stewart’s voice mattered and made sure to field calls and emails from the host and “Daily Show” staff...

In Stewart’s first show after his February 2014 visit to the White House, he picked up on the Russia-Ukraine news that Obama had spoken about in the press briefing room a few hours after their private chat. In a segment titled “It’s a Vlad, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad World,” Stewart giggled as he displayed a picture of the shirtless Russian leader — “Heil Titler,” he joked. Then he showed a video of Vladimir Putin at the Winter Olympics in Sochi and wondered if he was “even paying attention at the Olympics? … Or did you consider the parade of nations a browsing opportunity?”

Speaking truth to power, is he? Does anyone else remember, that’s all we heard from the looney left throughout the entire two Bush administrations.

In the early sixties it was John John crawling around under the Resolution Desk.

50 years later it was John Leibowitz.

Didn’t this twit just cuss out a reporter?

Methinks his weakness is exposed. He doesn’t like interviews.

Sauce for the gander?

That’s exactly right; I’ve referred to Stewart as a Bolshevik stooge for years (and have nothing but contempt for my low-information co-workers that have regarded him as a news source for years). He was the tool to keep certain demographics in the “progressive” camp, and now those dupes are reaping what they’ve sown. I revel in their discontent, and gladly let them know that.

Actually I think the incident your recalling was Stewart yelling and cursing at one of his writers, an African-American man, for having dared to question Stewart’s using a racist ‘kingfish’ voice to imitate Herman Cain
