John Stewart has that rare gift on television, intellectual honesty. If he was mad at Bush for doing it, he'll be mad at Obama. I'll concede it took him a while to get there, but he got there.

"Operation just the tip"- love it and love Jon Stewart. Very happy he's back (and yes John Oliver did a tremendous job)...

Felt great to laugh after watching that painfully grueling and terrifying senate hearing all afternoon.

which have been unlawful since their use in World War One. I also do not find it funny that he seems to suggest it is all or nothing. We either go in with boots or it isn't enough. Stewart is an entertainer-a comedian. Thank God he is not responsible for serious decision making. His judgment is questionable and his knowledge lacking.

Wow, now where have I heard this line of reasoning before?

"His judgment is questionable and his knowledge lacking."

I'll take his over yours any day.

Any. F*cking. Day.

Perhaps our friend would rather listen to Dennis Miller right about now.


BTW: WTF ever happened to Dennis Miller. Did he have an embolism in the funnybone or something?

While you're so terribly appalled by the apparent levity being shown at the death of innocence via gas missiles (and which I found absolutely no where), maybe you can include something about the murdering of children via Predator Drone? At least give 'em a mention, 'mkay?

- So that their murder isn't in vain?

Right up there with farts. That is another reason to remember that the man is a comedian first and foremost. Ala Bill Maher. Only Bill has a homophobe and misogynist streak as well.
