Indeed, the Stewart does hit from all sides; this is brilliant stuff. Cudos to the writers.
Truth, well stated.

President Obama needs a teleprompter. You can tell the difference when he doesn't have one. Then you can see his experience as a community organizing facilitator. He can take any question and turn it back to the questioner without answering while making it look like he did. Instead he uses the question to make a statement. I lost count of the "uh's" and "ah's". This was not a press conference but an ACORN meeting. Gotta love Helen Thomas' face, "What the hell is he talking about..he didn't answer my question."

It was a grand day to ski in hell.

The Chosen One is going to find that it is one thing to be adored by the masses but eventually if you do not follow through on your promised the masses turn into a mob with torches and pitchforks.

It's really not shocking to people who aren't deliberately trying to make it be. TDS has always been an equal-opportunity riffing service, and the people who cry out 'bias' or try to act like it favors any one side are just typical partisan tools who view the world through their red-or-blue-tinted glasses.

If they're not explicitely riffing Obama, they're biased. If they're specifically riffing Obama, they haven't riffed him enough and they're biased. Right wingnuts won't be pleased until the show stops covering right-sided lulz and focuses only on left, and left wingnuts won't ever think they're focusing enough on right-sided lulz.

The political climate of this country has devolved into a cesspit of one-sided twits screaming at other one-sided twits over who's more persecuted.

Yes, Neal, I do believe that hell just froze over. Don't tell that to Owl Gore, though.

Geez, that was weak.

The Daily Show was much better when Kilborn hosted it and it was just a silly comedy show. Not the self-important pep rally it is now.

All the hard-core righties have been throwing fits for the last 8 years because Bush was God's gift to comedians, and they were convinced that Stewart and Colbert had it out for Bush. Bush just made himself too easy of a target. Colbert and Stewart have always hit the left when they could just as they hit the right. They are a brilliant pair, and are the true counterbalance to the biased media outlets, namely EIB, Fox, and MSNBC.

I loved this, especially the new drinking game -- fill in the gaps during his speeches.

It was good to see this. I was wondering what they were going to do once Bush was out. Stewart and Colbert do have a substantial lean to the left, but they do try to make fun of both sides which gives them more comedic credibility.
