:rofl:

[dbmk]

1. If I had any decent photoshop skills

That pouch would be in play. :)

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. He nailed it...... kick and nominated n/t

[Starbucks Anarchist]

2. "The Crown Royal pouch also is used to hold broken dreams."

:rofl:

[Buzz Clik]

3. I laughed very, very hard last night as I watched that.

It was one of Jon's best moments in a long time.

[BeyondGeography]

4. "Are you running for President or are you pledging?"

Great writing in this skit...multiple viewings encouraged.

[progressoid]

5. "like this guy..."

:rofl:

[Overseas]

6. BRILLIANT !! The Daily Show team got it just right !!

Loved the clips of Clinton showing she was a gun-toting hard-drinking god-inspired person.

[Politicalboi]

68. I liked it when

Hillary got asked about the last time she went to church or shot a gun. I think Obama did this on purpose and Hillary fell for it Hook, Line, And Sink "Her". More lies from Hillary.

[mwb970]

99. That part was especially annoying.

She gives a bunch of speeches about how religious she is and how much she loves to shoot, but a question about when she last actually went to church or shot a gun is somehow off limits? What could be more germane? What is wrong with this woman? She is embarrassing me with her obvious desperation and palpable insincerity.

We already have a Republican in the White House.

[Ned_Devine]

7. Just my opinion, but...

...I think that Hillary might just be the over all worst candidate the dems have ever put forth. Her campaign tactics are deplorable. I wasn't old enough to vote for Mondale or Dukakis, and I am sure that they were pretty weak, but everything that I have seen from Hillary turns my stomach.

[Divine Discontent]

85. Mike Dukakis ran circles around Hillary in class...

the guy was encouraging and passionate, the only thing he did wrong was be a big nosed minority who got in a tank and play too nice when they ran convict willie horton ads saying he let out a murderer who killed again. I think he got like 46% of the vote - had he hit back hard he might have won, as this country was not in good shape in 88. I loved when he rolled up his sleeves in the last 6 weeks, he pulled close, but the damage had been done with the negative campaign ads from Bush that ran daily.

Kerry's campaign reminded me of Dukakis', similar style, very kind, smart, and he had his own silly photo when he got in the NASA hazmat type uniform and crawled through some contraption they were visiting at Kennedy Space Center. People cracked up about that, but the Bush campaign decided to go with the Kerry doing the windsailing thing.

I'm sure we're going to see UTTERLY horrible and negative ads about Obama. I won't watch TV. They're going to try and make it like we don't love America if we vote for that man, because HE doesn't love America --- blah blah blah...

I hope Obama has some incredible comebacks ready and just destroys McCain in the debates. Kerry won the debates, handedly, and still B*sh got close to 50% of the vote (I believe thousands of votes attributed to him were for Kerry).

[jwlashta]

95. Blame the media

Sensible, reasonable people would all agree that Kerry won the debates. It was the news agencies that were saying that Bush won and unfortunately too many people put a lot of stock in the opinions of the media (because, I guess, they should know better...).

[Divine Discontent]

109. it wasn't even an argument was it? Kerry washed the floor with B*sh!

and yet there was question as to it being close. Kerry was extremely presidential, especially in the 1st debate most probably saw, and W was out there! Amazing what people will vote for, isn't it.

[sudopod]

104. I think Dukakis could have won today

The internet would have allowed him to go directly to the people.

[Divine Discontent]

108. you're thinking, I like that!

good point. the way he presented himself in his 30 minute or whatever special the night before the election, that cost him so much cash, could have been done a hundred million times on his website and he could have reached voters. I think between George Sr and Mike Dukakis, on youtube, Mike would've been inspiring vids from young people at a much higher rate.

I think this is where Obama is going to blow away McSame then, thanks to your point, and I know I'll be making a few vids myself from my www.youtube.com/password channel.

take care!

[wowimthere]

8. Just looking at the soundbites from the pundits... you can tell they are all out of touch

[defendandprotect]

22. They've long been out of touch . . . but people tuned in anyway . . . !!! WHY????

Well, now we have Jon Stewart and the internet and a few other places to go --
but TV is still serving up mostly BS --- especially on Sundays.

Sundays, as I recall it, were always the big day to pass on BS ---

It wasn't until MLK, Jr., JFK, Malcolm X, Pope John XXIII, James Baldwin that some truth could
be heard coming from those idiot boxes --- !!!

[diane in sf]

28. Oh the pundits are all quite in touch with their croporate masters...

[defendandprotect]

74. Yes . . .

:)

I keep wondering how Olbermann freed himself from GE/MSNBC masters?

[destes]

94. Has he.................

Indeed?

Russert's gets no younger and Mathis'leave from a padded cell expires any time now.

[defendandprotect]

105. Well. . . in comparison to what other journalists are doing . . .

he seems to have been let off the leash ---

I've often thought they did it to cut into Jon Stewart's show which plays here at the same time --

I usually watch a few minutes of Olbermann --- usually the beginning ---

don't waste time with it after that . . .

Russert and Matthews, IMO, sold themselves very early one.

What amazes me is that people have watched the TV "news" at all over the past decades!!

[Cha]

80. They're like robots regurgitating

buzz words from headquarters.. Look what I miss by not watching that shit.

[progetto]

112. lazy too. they just parrot the same crap. n/t

[Voice for Peace]

9. k&r!

[YvonneCa]

11. EXCELLENT...

...he hit every mark.

[BattyDem]

12. ROFLMAO!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[eleny]

13. A perfect segment

Thanks for posting.

K&R

[Faux pas]

14. The longer she trys to put off the inevitable, the more foolish and

desperate she looks and acts. I'm proud and happy that she's never been my choice.

[pberq]

15. Excellent

[DrZeeLit]

16. Isn't it time to bring on the "A" Team... the ELITE FORCE? yeeeeeaaaaah!

[evolvingsteve]

17. I love the Daily Show!!!

...and I'm pretty sure he made a good case as to why I should not turn on Cable News anymore.....I'm tired of all of their sound-byte stories spins....I will depend on my political news from on-line from now on....!

.....Unless, it's Stewart or Colbert...!




:dem:

[shellgame26]

82. you and millions of others

That should be the obituary for the Clinton campaign. they're stuck in a generation that failed to see the power of the internet as a vehicle to mobilize the grassroots. More and more people are tuning out the spoon-fed-i'll tell you what to think-MSM everyday.

[phrigndumass]

18. Jon Stewart is so dead to me now ... If only a wingnut did stand-up

... then I'd watch his show.

Oh wait, what's this?! :rofl: Now that's something the posers could get into!

(Jon Stewart nailed it!!!) :D


.

[cyclezealot]

19. Sorry to say

But, the Monday show made both Dem candidates look foolish.

[kmsarvis]

21. explain

[cyclezealot]

24. Stewart made fun of Hillary's

drinking and Obama's attempts to insert foot into his mouth. ( his Pennsylvanians' are bitter comment. ) We should try to look at our candidates as non Democrats look at them ,not we partisans. If we want to win, that is. All we need do is tell them to talk the issues, end the squabbling and grow up.

[zalinda]

40. Sorry, but they can only look at it through their

own viewpoint. They will be crying in their Merlot and asking what happened in Nov, just like always.

And, the shit hasn't even begun to hit the fan. Wait until the GE, they will all have spinning heads.

zalinda

[cyclezealot]

45. But I find both candidates disappointing

Both seem amateurish. Will do anything to win, even destroy the party. We need bring back Gore or Edwards if they don't grow up. And pronto. If they don't straithten out and fly right, I think we need reserect someone else.

[dansolo]

50. I'm really sick of this crap

What the hell has Edwards actually done, except co-sponsor the IWR, and earn half a million dollars consulting for a hedge fund company that was a big player in the whole sub-prime mess. Edwards is a complete fraud, and I am getting sick of the Edwards supporters with their holier-than-thou attitude. There is a reason that Edwards didn't get any traction , either in 2004 or 2008. He has no substance. I don't buy his sudden populist message. He never worked for the poor while he was in the Senate.

Obama is behaving like a grown up. It is Hillary that is behaving like a spoiled brat, who is intent of breaking her toys is she isn't allowed to play with them. Don't lump them together. He has been quite restrained. While she continues to attack him personally, he has been trying to talk about the issues.

[cyclezealot]

51. Polls are polls.

I hope Obama can turn it around. He might inherit a bad situation. ? / Of course we will be behind him/ I was not originally an Edwards supporter. I just thought he conducted his campaign somewhat more positively. My candidate was and is Kucinich.

[elias7]

101. Kucinich was my and is guy as well

I think that Edwards had the luxury of not being under attack and so remained positive. Kerry exemplified remaining above the fray of the politics of personal destruction, but what I perceived as strength was perceived as weakness by the populace, i.e. "why didn't he respond or fight back?". Obama has found a more counter-punching balance while still partially succeeding in staying above the fray. I feel HRC is quite competent, but from my perspective, it seems that the mud flinging started with her camp.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

67. The truth: Edwards was always a populist

17. Repost of Edwards' Senate Record notes

Much has been said about Edwards’ supposedly conservative term in the Senate. Like much “common wisdom”, this is largely unfounded.

When remembering that he came as a neophyte from a rather red state, it’s quite surprising to see just how populist he was on many key social issues. (Well, it’s not surprising to many of us, but to those of you who’ve been poisoned with the endless snideness about the “new” Edwards and the “old” Edwards, it should be an eye-opener.)

He only sponsored two bills, but he co-sponsored a whopping 203 in his six-year term. This is a partial list of them (yes, I omitted the Patriot Act and IWR; much has already been said about them) and bears a quick skimming. They’re in chronological order, so details can be found fairly easily. The two bills he sponsored were for research into the “fragile x” chromosome associated with mental retardation, and the “Spyware Control and Privacy Act”, an important early bulwark against attempts to compromise our computer privacy. This last one is a true civil-rights issue, taking on corporations and attempting to secure the rights of individuals, and it’s visionary stuff.

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d106:SN03180:@@ ...

Russ Feingold said he was a “terrific asset” in getting campaign finance reform through. He was the person who deposed Lewinsky and Jordan in the impeachment trial; quite an important task to entrust to a newcomer in literally his first year in office. His opposition to Ashcroft in the confirmation hearings was vigorous and mesmerizing, even if it didn’t work. This is also the guy who tirelessly fought to keep the sunset provisions from being stripped out of the Patriot Act. His votes on labor and trade are solidly leftist, although he did vote for the China Trade Bill. Then again, since this was something Bill Clinton was solidly for, he was voting with his party. (Funny how Hillary supporters take him to task for this vote…) He also (along with Dodd and Biden) voted against the free trade bills with Singapore and Chile, unlike Senator Clinton, who voted for them.

Here’s a guy who constantly brought up the issue of “predatory lending” even though he hailed from a state with a huge banking and financial services industry. If you listen to or read his stump speeches from late ’02 and early ’03, you’ll wonder what the hell his detractors are talking about when they say that his populism is a new tack; his platform was economic and worker-oriented from the beginning, telling of how the Bush Administration was systematically shifting the burden of taxation from wealth to wages.

So here’s that partial list of the bills he co-sponsored. This is not a list of his votes, just those bills he actively got behind and worked to get passed. This is hardly the stuff of a closet conservative or an opportunist, as he’s been tarred, nor is it the record of someone who was just phoning it in. I would request, in interest of fairness, that the deriders among you at least skim through this VERY long list; it’s all pure fact.

When taking all this in context, it’s interesting to reflect on Kerry’s sneering that he probably couldn’t win re-election had he decided to run. Kerry may have been right on this point, but if so, it’s because of Edwards’ populism and social decency.

Details can be found here; each phrase separated by a comma is a particular bill, and in most cases attempt to use the bill’s title to lessen confusion and give the sense of the legislation.

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/?&Db=d107&querybd ... (FLD004+@4((@1(Sen+Edwards++John))+01573)):

Sense of the Senate for funding lifestyle research for preventative medicine, Sense of the Senate honoring National Science Foundation, Sense of the Senate to preserve six day mail delivery, designating “biotechnology week”, Children’s Internet Safety Month, Joint Resolution against excessive campaign donations, to protect the civil rights of all Americans, Bi-partisan Campaign Reform, Restrict access to personal health and financial information, Establish a Center for National Social Work Research, provide more effective remedies for victims of sex discrimination in work, provide incentive for fair access to the internet for everyone, require fair availability of birth control, increase the minimum wage (’01), protect consumers in managed care programs, emergency relief for energy costs to small businesses, prohibit use of genetic information to discriminate on health coverage and employment, provide families with disabled children to buy into Medicaid, eliminate the loophole for interstate transporting of birds for fighting, provide funding to clean up contaminated land, informing veterans of available programs, Designating part of ANWR as wilderness, establish a digital network technology program, reduce the risk that innocent people be executed, restore funding for Social Security Block Grants, provide for equal coverage for mental health in insurance policies, amend Clean Air Act to reduce emissions from power plants, establish uniform election technology (sponsored by Dodd), extend modifications to funding for Medicare and Medicaid, Federal Funding to local governments to prosecute hate crimes, reinstate certain Social Security earnings exemptions for the blind, overhaul RR retirement plan to increase benefits, Establish a Nurse recruitment and retention program, amend FDA to provide greater access to affordable pharmaceuticals, Establish African American Museum within the Smithsonian, Federal funding for research of environmental factors in Breast Cancer, Increase hospital benefits under Medicare, Establish Tariff Quotas on milk protein imports, Federal funding for mental health community education, protect patients in managed care plans (again), establish Office on Women’s Health in HHS, increase the minimum wage, allow media coverage of trials, prohibit racial profiling, improve health care in rural areas, protect consumers in managed care plans, prohibiting trade of bear viscera, provide greater fairness in arbitration of motor vehicle franchises, provide adequate insurance coverage for immunosuppressive drugs, provide financial assistance for trade-affected communities, acquisition and improvement of child-care facilities, prohibit employment discrimination based on sexual orientation, establish programs to deal with nurse shortage, establish a National Cyber Defense Team to protect the internet’s infrastructure, provide services to prevent family violence, require criminal prosecution for securities fraud, reissuance of a rule on ergonomics, ensure safe pregnancy for all U.S. women, improve investigation and prosecution of rape cases with DNA evidence, improve national drought preparedness, increase the minimum wage (yet again), assistance in containing HIV/AIDS in foreign countries, emergency assistance for small-businesses affected by drought, child care and developmental block grants, provide economic security for America’s workers, enhance security for transporting nuclear waste, FEMA hazard mitigation grants, increase mental health benefits in health insurance, criminal prosecution for people who destroy evidence in securities fraud cases.

Is this the record of a corporate appeaser? Is this the record of someone just loafing about and collecting a paycheck?

Funny what you find when you read a little, isn’t it?

The Bush Cartel is Shivering In Its Boots About John Edwards: This is An Actual North Carolina GOP Alert Sent to a BuzzFlash Reader

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS

Below is a copy of an actual GOP alert sent out by the North Carolina Republican Party.

It illustrates how frightened the GOP is of Edwards spoiling the Neo-Confederacy "Southern Strategy" that the Grand Hypocrisy Party (GHP) depends upon to win presidential elections.

Sincerely,

Buzz

* * *

Dear XXXX,

Senator John Edwards' (D-NC) latest effort to package himself as a "mainstream North Carolinian" is entirely contradicted by a four-year voting record that consistently puts ultra-liberal special interests ahead of the people he represents.

CNN's Candy Crowley: "I want to ask you, lastly, about the political spectrum and where you are on it. You are often described as having a liberal voting record. The liberal groups tend to give you high ratings. The conservative groups give you low ratings. Are you a liberal Democrat?

John Edwards: "I'm a mainstream North Carolinian. I think my views and my values represent the values of most people in this country." (CNN's Inside Politics, January 2, 2003)

Bill Cobey, Chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party had the following response: "Senator Edwards, your voting record does not lie. 'Mainstream North Carolinians' don't vote like Georgetown Liberals."

Edwards made similar assertions in 1998 when he promised the people of North Carolina that he would be a moderate voice in the U.S. Senate. Edwards' record, however, reveals the liberal truth:

Edwards' Voting Record Matches Those Of Senators Ted Kennedy And Hillary Clinton

From 1999-2002, Edwards Voted With Senator Ted Kennedy 90% Of The Time. (CQ Vote Comparison, CQ Online Website, www.oncongresscq.com, 106th and 107th Congresses)

Edwards' Liberal Record On Health Care And Social Issues

Edwards Called For A Federal Prescription-Drug Benefit And Lamented Over The Lack Of Universal Health Insurance For Children. "Moving to health care, Edwards - his words being recorded by a National Public Radio reporter sitting near his feet - again called for a federal prescription-drug benefit and decried the lack of universal insurance coverage for children. 'In America,' he intoned, 'that's wrong, and we need to do something about it.'" (Eric Dyer, "Testing The Waters?" News & Record, June 23, 2002)

In 2001, Edwards Voted To Table An Amendment That Would Have Prohibited The Use Of Public Funds For Needle Exchange Programs In The District Of Columbia. (Amendment to H.R. 2994, Roll Call #328: Motion To Table Passed 53-47: R 5-44; D 47-3; I 1-0, November 7, 2001)

Edwards' Liberal Record On Taxes/Fiscal Responsibility

AT ODDS WITH FELLOW DEMOCRATS

On Trade Promotion Authority

Edwards Disagrees With Kerry, Daschle And Lieberman On Trade Promotion Authority. Edwards voted against trade promotion authority, but Kerry, Daschle and Lieberman voted for it. (H.R. 3009, Roll Call #207: Passed 64-34: R 43-5; D 20-29; I 1-0, August 1, 2002)

On Common Sense Tort Reform

Edwards Disagrees With Lieberman On Tort Reform. Unlike his Senate colleague Lieberman, Edwards adamantly opposes liability limits and civil justice reform. (Jill Zuckman, "Medical Bill," Chicago Tribune, June 24, 2001; Senator Lieberman, Press Conference, July 15, 1999)

When Asked By Bob Novak, Edwards Could Not Recall A Single Conservative Position That He Has Taken On An Issue As Senator. "'I could give you an answer to that question if you give me a little time to think about it.' - Democratic presidential aspirant Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, asked by columnist Robert D. Novak in...the American Spectator to recall any conservative position he's taken in the U.S. Senate ." (John McCaslin, "Dependably Liberal," The Washington Times, October 15, 2002)

24. I agree; the repeated "fact" that he wasn't a populist to start with is simply wrong

If one looks at his record, one sees populism as a very clear through-line.


Lots, LOTS more at link, if you care to educate yourself

83. Good Heavens

if you want to just copy and paste a bunch of stuff, jeez...

[Viva_La_Revolution]

107. That's a DU original article, all facts are throughly researched and backed up.

It was compiled months ago to put to bed once and for all that tired phrase. I saved it specially for people like you.

[mwb970]

100. Quality would prove your point better than overwhelming quantity.

Who do you expect to read all of that? Good grief.

[October]

102. Wow! Good post

Good post and solid sources.

Thank you.

I'm committed to voting for the Dem nominee, but I'm not thrilled with how the primary season has been going. I'm not on anyone's bandwagon. Both sides are behaving foolishly. I cannot get over what's happened her at DU. So much anger and hatred

[Pastiche423]

111. Thank you ever so much for your post

I will never understand why supposedly intelligent people can not see that johnnyboy is nothing more than a poseur.

[druidity33]

53. that's a load of BS

You honestly think Barack Obama will, "do anything to win, even destroy the party"?

if so, the M$M has deluded you...

He has NOT demeaned the race to the Presidency, though Hillary Clinton HAS.

[cyclezealot]

56. To be perfectly honest

I find the lack of specifics , generalities; a turn off. So glad we missed the discussion on faith. We'd really been turned off. We really sort of started skipping out on the debate , back about Super Tuesday. We still hope the eventual candidate will get their act together. Lets get back on track. Why did Jon Stewart have sport on both candidates.

[bjobotts]

70. Still better than McCain. The 'party' has always been divided in the primaries

[cyclezealot]

91. sure am with you on that one.

McCain, We say will make Bush look tame.

[ejpoeta]

71. it sure is tough when every time you try to talk about the issues

someone takes what you say out of context and tries to spin it and use it to say you said something else. there. now instead of talking a bout issues, we are talking about what someone 'said' a week ago and how mad everyone should be about it.

[haymakeragain]

54. Not a good read on the situation.

Throwing them together in "trying to destroy the party" is not even close to reality.

[haymakeragain]

52. Your merlot reference proves you don't know

shit.

Keep trying, though, she hasn't quit yet, hang on to the dream. One question, have you lost your mittens you scared little kitten?

[zalinda]

57. For your info, I don't support her either. n/t

[kmsarvis]

20. Jon Stewart at his best !!!!!

:rofl:

[TexasBushwhacker]

23. Okay, that's it

Draft Jon Stewart at the convention. HE IS OUR ONLY HOPE!

[Rhiannon12866]

25. K&R! I was there last night and it was an exceptionally good show.

Jon had the audience in stitches with his incisive and very true comments, cutting through the MSM fog and telling it like it is... He claimed to be tired, after hosting his recent special, but he was full of energy and his timing was as good as it ever is as soon as the cameras rolled. It was a lot of fun to be there. :applause:

[Faygo Kid]

26. I'm looking forward to seeing it at 8 p.m. tonight.

Normally in bed by 11, but I will be sure to see it tonight at the 8 p.m. rerun.

Surfing back and forth between that and Keith. As usual.

[Rhiannon12866]

29. It was a very good show, despite a guest we weren't particularly interested in.

It was a filmmaker that we hadn't heard of, and we wondered if he was a last-minute fill-in guest, since he's an old friend of Jon's and we didn't find out who was scheduled until we were there. Because he and Jon go way back, he was pretty amusing, but we were hoping for somebody in politics, even if it was a conservative, since it's Jon's show and he always gets the last word!:evilgrin:

It's too bad that you have to switch between Keith and Jon, since they're two of the few shows currently on that are worth watching. You can miss Jon's guest, which should help, but you'll appreciate the rest of the show. We stopped for dinner after the show, so didn't get back until after midnight, and watched the 1am rerun, but taped it, as well. :D

[Dbdmjs1022]

31. Judd Apatow! He was hilarious!

He's done two of my favorite movies of the past couple years: Superbad and 40 Year Old Virgin. He's great!

And yes, I think I peed myself a little from laughing so hard at this segment last night.

[Rhiannon12866]

35. He was very good, seems to share Jon's sense of humor, LOL,

so both Jon and the audience enjoyed him, as well. I was disappointed that it wasn't somebody political, but think that it was an exceptionally good show. It was exciting to see it all up close.:woohoo:

[Politicalboi]

69. I think Michelle Obama

Is suppose to be on tonight. And Hillary I think is going to be on Colbert Show. He had Tweety on last night and Tweety spilled the beans I think. You never really know with Colbert.

76. I think Michelle is going to be on Colbert. The Daily Show has finally posted this week's guests

And law professor Jack Goldsmith, who wrote an expose of the Bush* administration, will be on tonight and Uma Thurman is on Thursday. It must be a repeat on Wednesday.:shrug:

And I did see Tweety on Colbert, caught the late night repeat! And Colbert was hysterical; I laughed out loud! He really got the best of Tweety, and I totally agree with you... :hi:

[Sequoia]

43. Lucky you...! You were actually THERE in New York. Cool.

[Rhiannon12866]

58. Yes, I was, and it was indeed very cool, LOL.

Jon Stewart was really flawless and think that this was an exceptionally good show. I'm in Northern NY, so it's a trip, and I've been to Letterman, which is awfully good, but this was the first time I've seen Jon Stewart. He's a real professional and was not only nice, but was very, very funny, the same as he is on TV. :D

[Sequoia]

59. Well all you need to top your trip is a ride in the CASH CAB !!

[Rhiannon12866]

75. Believe it or not, when we were standing in line, waiting to go in,

numerous taxis went by, and we thought that we spotted The Cash Cab! LOL. :rofl:

[Sequoia]

106. Blinking light roof and all !!!

[Rhiannon12866]

110. It looked like The Cash Cab, but then we realized that it was missing the lights... *sigh*

After standing for a few hours in the line for The Daily Show, I think pretty much everyone there would have gotten in... :-( But not everybody would have realized that it was The Cash Cab...;) :D

[Cooley Hurd]

61. Hey! I was there last night too!

:D:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

62. And...?

What did you think of the show?:hi:

[Cooley Hurd]

64. We waited for a long time to get in - I got the sense they might've been short-handed...

...because of everyone associated with TDS was on iNight of Too Many Stars the night before, and probably slept in. ;)

[Rhiannon12866]

65. I agree. We waited way too long and Jon Stewart said that he was tired.

But he totally came to life once the cameras started rolling and had a very good show. And he was very nice to the audience members who asked something of him, as well. :-)

[Cha]

81. Good for you! After he said that

about being tired I could see what he meant but he was able to be very incisive and zany in spite of needing some sleep. :)

[Rhiannon12866]

103. He apologized for making us wait, since he was late.

But I didn't think that his being tired made any difference in his performance at all. He was as good as ever, totally nailed it, once the cameras started rolling. The whole experience was a lot of fun and Jon Stewart is a very nice guy, gave his notes to a woman who asked for them and a script to a sick teen-ager who came with his Mom. He was great to his audience.:D

[FOS]

27. I saw that

It was refreshingly hilarious.

:spray:

[undeterred]

42. Welcome to DU!

We have a Wisconsin forum here too.

[betharina]

30. Isn't it time?

:shrug:

[DutchLiberal]

32. NAILED IT!!! It's *so* absolutely true. She knows no shame.

[question everything]

33. You, Jon, may want a President who is better than us

and, perhaps, many on DU want the same.

But how many, do you think, ever considered Reagan and Bush (both) better than themselves?

Oh, and did Obama not say his comments in San Francisco?

There were others, here, on DU, noticed that his comments were made in San Francisco.

[happygoluckytoyou]

[GDAEx2]

36. Instant Classic

the line about the crown royal bag made me pmp!

[goletian]

37. LOL HILLARY IS A WALKING JOKE OF A POLITICIAN NOW - nt

[cui bono]

38. "The only alcohol with Crown and Royal in the name"

And all of a sudden it's not relevant when she last fired a gun. But her grandfather teaching her how to shoot when she was a child is relevant. Sheesh. What a loser!

[Better Believe It]

39. Now that was one funny video!

kick

[LuckyTheDog]

41. Hysterical stuff (nt)

[Apollo11]

44. It's no longer on YouTube, but you can watch it at TheDailyShow.com

The audio and video quality is better at www.thedailyshow.com

Plus it is legal and helps to keep The Daily Show on the air and online.

There are short commercials so you know Jon Stewart will get paid! B-)

46. I wish I could recommend this one a hundred times! Brilliant!

:rofl:

[ashrob123]

47. You made my day!

:toast:

[iamthebandfanman]

48. hes such an elitest! god!

lol

[myrna minx]

49. K&r n/t

[Hamlette]

55. k&r, he's the best...I wonder if she'll start picketing him now? n/t

[mcollier]

60. So she's acting typical

true to form... Hillary is not a leader. Would you want your child or mother to act in such a way, dishonest, disrespectful, con artist like.

She's not the one.

[ToughLuck]

63. HILARIOUS..I wish Jon worked for Obama's officially

[KSinTX]

66. I'd sorta taken a political breather but couldn't resist

That certainly was worth the click through.

[Alii]

72. That was great!

[williesgirl]

73. Just finished efiling my taxes and that's just what I needed! Thanks. rec'd

[LaStrega]

77. L-O-flippin'-L

The woman has come unhinged.

[gtar100]

78. Kick Ass!! "Elite" is what we want in a president - Nailed It!

"Somebody smarter than us" - absolutely. That "elitist" crap those assholes on TV have been pulling just got slammed back in their face. Way to go John and team!!

[Cha]

79. "Isn't it time we tried something

just a little bit different?"! Oh Yeah! Jon wants a president that is embarrassingly smarter than he is..me too!

Like Plato said and paraphrasing here.."you have to be involved or you may end of being governed by your inferiors".

This was too funny..glad he saw how ridiculous hilary and her band of non elistists are.

[futureliveshere]

84. Brilliant.. Just brilliant..Looks like Hillary is losing the comic vote too...K&R

[aaronbees]

86. Genius

:rofl:

"Yes, nothing says blue collar like whiskey in a velvet pouch."

[Cant trust em]

87. OK, so I snorted a little bit when I laughed

Funniest shit on the Daily show for a while.

[grace0418]

88. FUCKING BRILLIANT!

God, that almost makes me want to get cable again. If I didn't hate Comcast so much, or I had another choice besides Comcast.

Totally hilarious!

[FogCityJohn]

89. Condescending Hillary

Does anybody else remember this little gem from the 90s? It's none other than Hillary Clinton making some very elitist sounding comments about women who stay at home and bake cookies.

Not sure what's more disgusting, Hillary's condescension or her hypocrisy.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=rulSnAM6gmM

[Zachstar]

90. I IS TEH PRESIDENT!!

[HCE SuiGeneris]

92. Jon Stewart is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD to me!!!!11!!

[boppers]

93. You forgot "eleventy-one". :)

[Voltaire99]

96. Did Hillary make armpit squawky sounds to show off her blue collar bona fides?

Or just rip a little three-stage burp after her Crown Royal and brewski?

[1776Forever]

97. Better keep the pouch Hillary -

[mwb970]

98. Jon nails Hillary good in this one.

To me, she sounds exactly like a Republican, more and more every day. I am tired of Republicans, and I am very tired of her. It's Clinton Fatigue II time.

[jackson_dem]

113. Ironic thread from someone who lectures on criticizing the messiah...
