Stewart’s smirk became the face of ‘smart liberalism,’ solidifying distrust in middle America and fostering a culture of ridicule and sanctimony.
Jon Stewart is back at it again, playing the role of political chiropractor, desperately trying to realign the spine of a party he helped fracture. The New Yorker recently offered Democrats a fresh 2028 campaign slogan: “Overcome the stink.”
It’s classic Stewart — sharp, crowd-pleasing, and seemingly wise. The kind of quip you’d see on a bumper sticker next to “Coexist.” And yet, the stench he’s gesturing at — the political decay, the public disillusionment, the loss of coherence on the Left — didn’t just drift in from elsewhere. It festered under his watch. And whether he’ll admit it or not, he helped create it.
Now, let me be clear: Stewart isn’t wrong that the Democratic Party reeks. It does. The media blackout over Biden’s cognitive frailty, the coordinated silence around his son’s laptop, the inability to speak plainly to working class Americans — it all reeked. But Stewart throwing up his hands now, acting like a wise elder disgusted by the filth, also reeks.

Stewart has so perfected “Nineteen Eighty Four”’s Double-Think , he doesn’t even realize he has been doing it for most of his career.
Ditto for Bill Maher.
Maybe James Woods will engage and extinguish Stewart’s phraseology.
Jon Leibowitz has no special talent. His popularity is based on promotion. You can select any random homeless person and with the right promotion make him a star.
he has the world’s most punchable face
Stewart is a moron. I attended a debate he had with Bill O’Relly. Without his hand picked, cackling on cue, hyena audience, he as exposed as the real dope he is. It was pathetic. He could not rely on facts or logic. He thought he could wise crack his way through it.
I recall it being said back in GWB’s second term (not having to be a full and immediate apologist for that person) that the left created an atmosphere in which even ones like Ronald Reagan or even Gerald Ford would find it very difficult to govern and present that reasonable related image. And that was a great deal because of the Daily Show and also Saturday Night Live.
Wasn’t he the one who had the dancing syringes when the Covid jabs were introduced?
I’m not going to go there, but what I will do is say that the effete dismissal of the rest of the country as their policies drifted further and further left, leaving only the crazy people on the reservation has left a lasting, devastating impact on the legitimacy of liberal governance.
Trust me, bro is dead. The smart people are never going to be as smart as they thought they were.
All of these developments had to happen as they did. Were it not for COVID and the clotshot, I’d be able to say, ‘and nobody died.’
But they did. Jan 6 too. People died.
Even more smarmy and disgusting than Colbert or Oliver.
Stewart’s ONLY gimmick was ridiculing straight, white, Christian conservatives.
That may have been Colbert.
Everytime I hear Stewart I’m reminded of the bumper sticker YOUR HORN BLOWS DOES THE DRIVER.
