Daily Show making me mad...

[FLyellowdog]

ok, so I can't take a joke, but I don't it when Jon makes fun of my president. I guess I'll just have to build a bridge and get over it.:grr:

[SergeyDovlatov]

1. Was it a tasteless joke? Or not just a stupid one?

And most importantly, was it funny?
Which episode was it?

[FLyellowdog]

9. Mostly stupid...about Obama's delivery styles.

[hfojvt]

32. that one was not so bad,

Obama has two speeds JFK and I forget the other one.

I was more troubled by a) his gratuitous swipe at Biden and b) his comparison of the two press secretarys as if the Obama administration is the same sort of obfuscation as the Bush administration was.

[Cha]

2. I think it's funny! And, they said

the comics wouldn't be able to find material with Obama.

Jon Stewart is cracking me up. Just look at the big picture..it's going to be all right.

[prolesunited]

3. Jon is dead to me now

He's a comedian ffs. Get over it.

[FLyellowdog]

7. OK

[Subdivisions]

4. I was also struck by his tirade. It's not just you. n/t

[baldguy]

In a room, Barack would be the one laughing the hardest.

[FLyellowdog]

10. Probably true.

[Captain Hilts]

22. He is NOT known for having a sense of humor about himself. nt

[dbonds]

5. Well, most was funny, except the finding middle gear bit fell flat.

It shouldn't make you mad though. He has to try to find the humor - that's his job.

[HEyHEY]

19. I loved "He looks like the manager at the asshole store"

[baldguy]

23. It's a compliment to think he's management material.

[EraOfResponsibility]

6. yeah I didn't like it either even though I laughed

but more out of nervousness than finding it funny.

[FLyellowdog]

8. It makes me nervous too...don't know why.

[madville]

11. I guess nobody remembers Clinton

It's their job to make fun of people in power, relax. It's going to get much worse though I'm afraid. We are going to see the stock market go way down, it's going to get bad. The road is about to get very bumpy and the ball is in the Democrats court, the media is going to get bored now that the celebration is over and they will resort to their regular trashy, gotcha reporting ways.

[FLyellowdog]

14. We'll never forget Clinton...(Bill?)

[hendo]

12. he's a comedian

making fun of people is what he does for a living.

[Bluebear]

13. What do you propose Jon do for four years? :)

[FLyellowdog]

16. Eight years :)

[Bluebear]

18. Better still!

[bridgit]

15. That's one of the cornerstones of comedy; is it still funny when they come for your guy

Colbert made the comedic point about raising taxes I think it was, "When it happens to the rich it's tragedy, when it happens to poor people it's comedy!"
:)

[FLyellowdog]

20. Love that Colbert.

Only thing is, his truthiness really does border on the truth. Scary.:silly:

[HEyHEY]

17. I saw this coming, I'm glad you're building a bridge, but many DUers

Are about to show their bullshit facism and I'm sure they'll be calling for Jon's head soon.

[rvablue]

25. Uh, I'll be on your side if and when that happens

I had to check myself tonight while watching.

I noticed my heckles going up a bit.

And then, I realized, hey!, it's comedy and if I can't laugh at myself, my beliefs or my party, then I'm in serious trouble.

[EstimatedProphet]

39. Quite

It's amazing to me how many people here really want people like Stewart to be a lefty Rush Limbaugh.

[RJ Connors]

21. Hey commics have to work also

And now they are really experiencing tough times especially after the 8 year long bonanza they had where all a comic had to do was just repeat what jr. said. Maybe they should apply for a bailout package.

[ZombieHorde]

24. I hope your OP is a joke. nt

[defendandprotect]

26. Meant to tune in to see what Jon did on Markopolos . . . did he do aything???

[aikoaiko]

27. The only way to get over it is for you tomake a joke about our President too.

Go for it. You'll feel better.


Go for the ears -- those are an easy target.

[FLyellowdog]

28. Sacrilege I tell you...sacrilege!!!!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

29. Yup.

I have watched Jon since the Clinton years -- he will skewer anyone who gives him the material to work with, GOP or Dem.

It's going to be a very long 8 years for you if you don't understand Jon is gonna kick Obama's butt sometimes.

[FLyellowdog]

30. At least it's a real cute butt.

There,I made a joke. Now I'm all better.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

31. Good!

:hi:

You should have seen Jon with the whole Monica Thing -- he was pretty brutal on everyone: Clinton, Monica, the Media, the GOP pushing for impeachment. Sometimes ya just gotta call it like it is.

[FLyellowdog]

34. I didn't see any of that. I'll bet it was brutal!!!

I wonder if there are any rerun tapes?

[Hell Hath No Fury]

36. From what I have heard...

every episode of the Daily Show is now available on their website.

I would check it out -- it is a comedy goldmine!

[FLyellowdog]

40. I'll be a busy little bee today.

edited to say "Thanks". My bad.

[Initech]

33. I loved the Daily Show the other night.

And Lewis Black's segment was pure genius as always.

[conturnedpro09]

35. The Daily Show is what gets me through a hard day's work.

I refuse to act like an uptight Republican and cry when a comedian makes fun of OUR president. If conservatives can deal with it, we can too. I trust Jon to call a spade a spade--always.

[DS1]

37. DEAD TO ME!

:nuke:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

38. Well Boo Hoo For You.

[WI_DEM]

41. get used to it. Jon can't go 4-years without joking about Obama
