Jon Stewart is a national treasure

MILLIONS get their news from him daily. I am one of those fans. His logic (ad staff of writers) should earn him more than respect. But alas, he is yet again a target of the stupid.


Go Jon, don't let the stupid affect you.

were as thorough in their research and reporting as Jon and The Daily Show staff. I thought last night's episode ("Weak Constitution&quot was absolutely epic.

Live interviews of tough eggs have always been a disappointment. Jon just doesn't have that killer instinct in him to go after a Bush or a Cheney, or a whole bunch of other miscreants.

Give him a script, and POW! He is great. Give him a live target, and he fumbles.
