Hopefully Zack and Slater will get along in this episode.

Huh, first I've heard of this Stewart/Obama connection. These things are generally innocent, but can unintentionally lead to more sinister outcomes. Stewart loses credibility because he is seen as doing the president's bidding, even though I'm sure the whole thing was innocent on the surface, with Stewart being star-struck and Obama trying to cultivate a friendly media voice.

[*GILMORE*]

I couldn't read the politico ad about Stewart without hearing the sound of a very-sloppy blowjob going on in the background.

He's not particularly witty, and his audience is miniscule compared to someone like Bill O'Reilly (who also sucks)....Yet he's credited as being - (repress projective-vomit)....

""... a modern day Will Rogers and Mark Twain," Sen. John McCain, a frequent Republican guest....

They also credit him with....having some significant impact on the VA crisis? For what? Making a few jokes at Obama's expense? ONCE?

Even though the entirety of the liberal media did nothing but bitch about how the VA's epic-failures under Obama (despite his campaign promises) were all the fault of Republican War-Mongering... uh, 6 years after Obama took power. Yep, the VA was a mess because Booooooooosh.

This is your intellectual-highbrow comic?

""The Confederate flag flies over South Carolina, and the roads are named for Confederate generals," Stewart said near the end of his nearly six-minute monologue. "And the white guy is the one who feels like his country is being taken away from him."

yep. 'white people' (canned laughter) We're so lame.
