But does he have a fit of apoplexy when his hero, John Kerry is maligned, like Bill Maher when someone criticized Bill Clinton, or in one case that I remember, pointed that fact out to Maher (that he had such a reaction)?

Who cares? This just gets sadder and sadder.

Hey, at least the right has fine upstanding people like the druggie Lumbaugh and Flaffel perv on Fox.

So by your logic, George Bush and Dick Cheney (who have amassed quite a bit more money than Stewart) are even more out of touch with the common "grass-mowing" citizen?

But really, to pick out that little bit from his Crossfire appearance ("Right now, you're helping the politicians and the corporations. And we're left out there to mow our lawns.
") and blow it up to paint Jon Stewart as claiming to be a man of the people, you're just constructing a completely false arguement to begin with.

I don't think any other reasonable person who watched that piece believed Stewart was portraying himself as a common, everyman.

Bush has money, but he's made it giving Americans what they want and need: Football and gasoline.

Floyd Jackson is a fucking retard! I have never read such an ignorant comment. Next time think before typing, you doushbag.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Stewart is an entertainer. Go after politicians who claim to be "of the people"! If you did this kind of research on elected officials, maybe you'd actually garner some respectability. Also, anyone claiming that any news organization (or even The Daily Show, which is political satire) that isn't Fox News is instantly "liberal" and automatically supportive of the Democratic party smacks of Archie Bunker and his tirades on "Ol' Pinko Cronkite". Only difference? Archie Bunker was a fictional character who parodied people stupid enough to believe that. Also, he was likable. Please redirect your energy.

Chill, LBA, and read the dateline. Love for Jon should not cloud reading comprehension,
