I never thought I would say this about Jon Stewart...

[Subdivisions]

FAIL!

[Parker CA]

1. Mega. I'm not sure he'll look back on this decision in a good way, especially considering how long

that went on for.

[SharonAnn]

9. Please consider that he was really sick. And obviously not thinking to quickly.

[fadedrose]

2. According to 90% of the posts I've seen, you got your wish...eom

[EFerrari]

3. He was out of his element and not working in his form.

He (or someone) should have remembered that he's a comedian and that less is always, always more.

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. What did he do? His show's not even on yet.

Was he guest on another show?

[EFerrari]

5. Rachel's. n/t

[rwheeler31]

6. I listened . It was not funny. It was very informative.

I love a good discussion.

[NC_Nurse]

7. +1

[Major Hogwash]

10. Very. I agree,

I was stunned.

It's like he had his "Dennis Miller" moment tonight, right in front of everyone.

My jaw fell open and I could not believe what I was hearing.

[MadBadger]

It was a great interview. Jon said things I agreed with and disagreed with.

Am i shocked and surprised by DU's reaction though? Nope, not at all.

8. stop trying to be thoughtful, Jon, and go and put your clown costume back on.

If we want to listen to adults, and not comedians, we'll listen to adults, not you.

[MadBadger]

12. Are you supposed to represent the adults?

Pretty Childish adults.

[sabrina 1]

11. I haven't seen it yet, but the fact that he did what he did in the first

place, removed him from his status as just a comedian and placed him right in the middle of the MSM. Which is ironic, as he likes to think of himself as being outside the mainstream.

I thought he was going to acknowledge his mistake, I assume from the reaction, that he did not.

13. Jon found himself in the same position Oprah did

Pretty much everyone "knew" that Oprah was a "liberal", but her shows were always generic..until she overtly supported Obama. She felt the white-hot hate sent her way from the right wingers, and once she had crossed that line, she could never again "play fair"..

Instead of embracing it and going all in, during the rest of her show's life, she backed it up, and is back to schmaltz, make-overs & celebutante worship.

Jon is a bit like her, in this respect (Charlie:P..).. He's made a very good living straddling that fence. To be sure, he pokes more "fun" at republicans (who doesn't?), but he is an equal-opportunity when it comes to pointing out "teh stooopid".
We all know he's liberal, but he always kept up the appearance of being even-handed.

Since most of his true fans are liberal, we were all right there for him for 8 long years of Bush-antics, but we also tend to take it personally when he picks on Obama now. He probably wished we would all calm down, but he also should surely know that since there are so FEW left-leaning voices out there, we do hope the ones we do have, would be a bit nicer....and we do get angry when right wing haters get away with being racist, xenophobic nincompoops.

14. I don't have a problem when he pokes Obama

Because he does it from the point of truth. He did no less during the Bush years.

I didn't see the rally or the interview, but it sounds like he sold himself out of that spot of truth I so admire?

[Uzybone]

16. DUs problem is not that he pokes at Obama

its that he isn't a frothing at the mouth, useless, all liberals are 100% correct, type of guy. Nuance, thoughtfulness and cooperation are almost as hated here as they are hated by the RW.

[SoCalDem]

18. We used to "get it"..but more and more, we don't

:shrug:

[Skittles]

20. he is fair

which is why he is "picking on Obama"

[VMI Dem]

15. Have you never seen his movies? Or stand-up?

[Subdivisions]

23. No. And? n/t

[pgodbold]

17. Buh-Bye.

[Subdivisions]

22. Really? For saying Jon failed on Rachel's interview? K, whatever. Bye. n/t

[pgodbold]

24. No No.. The Buh-Bye is for Jon! I've not watched a clip or his show since the interview. Hugs to you

[Subdivisions]

25. Ohhhhh! LOL! Wow, well...that's a relief! My apologies for the confusion. =)

Check you PMs, pgodbold.

[rustydog]

19. I still like him. he has a right to his opinion and he is consistent.

So he isn't this left-wing attack show you prayed for...He still has a good COMEDY show.
I liked the interview.

[Scruffy1]

21. i always thought him pretty lowbrow and unfunny

But the stoner wing of the Democratic Party seems to like him. Got any munchies. But then I'm not a TV guy. Never watched SNL either.

[lunatica]

26. So where to you get your opinion of what he show is if you never watch it?

Ignorance is OK as long as you have an opinion about everything.

[taterguy]

27. I bow to your superiority

Actually I'm just trying to remember where I put my bong.
