Today, Jon Stewart tried to inaugurate a new segment of the Daily Show based on how silly Rick Santorum‘s comments over the weekend seem to him, entitled: “How Is It That Mitt Romney Hasn’t Crushed This Guy Yet?” That segment began with Santorum insulting John F. Kennedy but quickly slipped into Romney and his wife’s many Cadillacs, which quickly morphed into a second new segment, “How Is It That Rick Santorum Hasn’t Crushed This Guy Yet?”

1. Yet somebody mentioned that Santorum is a college grad and two of his kids are in college

I guess it's just for those who can afford to send their kids and everybody else should be willing to accept a technical school or take a minimum wage job at McDonalds or some retail store.

2. As Ted Knight famously said in "Caddyshack":

"Well, the world needs ditch diggers too."

4. But only if it's a for-profit technical school!

Gotta support those donors!

3. That's a good example of Republican faux populism.

The GOP is seen by most as the party of the elite, so Republican politicians cast Democrats as liberal elites who look down on the working man. Democrats can be much more effective at that game simply by exposing the GOP's assault on working people's rights and their efforts to keep workers' wages low. Unfortunately, many of the Democrats these days don't seem to want to discuss these issues. One can only assume that many of them aren't on the side of the workers, either.

5. K&R..I think he went to Pitt or Penn State

hmmm...Maybe both...

12. He went to Penn State, *NOT* Pitt

Do *NOT* denigrate the fine institution of higher learning that is the University of Pittsburgh by associating Rick Santorum with it.


He is a NitWittany Lion, not a Panther.

10. Thanks! Great segment!

It is a real shame that the best and most honest Political Commentary in the USA
is found on Comedy Central.

I missed last night's show.
(I was watching the rain delayed Daytona500 )
I usually don't miss Jon Stewart.
