Stewart's tScam

... pleads with Stewart to cancel "make
fun of stupid Americans" rally ...



The editor of the Washington Post Sunday "Outlook" opinion section, Carlos Lozada ... isn't upset with Stewart because the rally
John Stewart in Mufti
might drain liberal energy away from the grass roots on the last weekend before the election. He's upset because it will hurt Stewart's just-kidding image, just as he feared Stewart's "stop hurting America" lecture that killed CNN's "Crossfire" would hurt it -- it might "shatter the illusion" of Stewart's comedy as "hey, just cracking jokes and throwing spitballs, here." But what it really shatters is any illusion that Stewart isn't an angry leftist behind the smirk (as he demonstrated on NPR). Liberals want to pretend their comedians are nonpartisan, just like their journalists. [NewsBusters]

Stewart is grasping at straws for ratings. I don't think he'll get much more than a few seconds of increased fame, finish destroying his career and join the likes of Franken and Gerafalloon.

Maybe he can guest host Saturday Night Live and decrease the ratings of that irrelevant show.

So, he's like what? ... gonna run for the Senate or sumpthin'?
Trouble is, that's a pay cut. Plus he'll certainly fall into ridicule and fade into the shade of even bigger egos than his. Gotta admit, though, he is the perfect media whore.
(What? Yeah, could be — mebbe Soros bought him, too.)

Jon Stewart is an unfunny and a high falutin asshole.
He may be about to find out that the American people's falutin tastes are improving which could spell his downfall in ratings.
I think though that he is just enough a smarmy little creep that he will adjust his political complexion after the elections in order to survive.

@Doug - It's only a pay cut if he's honest. I give you Dingy Harry as an example - out of law school, he had a 2-year gig as Henderson City Attorney, and since then it's been all "Public Service." So how does a guy from Searchlight, NV, become a multi-millionaire as a public servant?
No, I think Jon Stewart would do just fine.

Carlos Lozada says that leftists think that Stewart is not "an angry Leftist" and is "nonpartisan", eh?

Pull the other one, Carlos, you deluded commie sack!

Leftists are stupid, no question about it. But are they really that stupid?

"Stewart is not a commie?" What's next? "Stewart is actually funny?"

This verges on being too dumb to remember to breathe.
