Washington is rigged for the big guys - and no person has more consistently called them out for it than Jon Stewart. Good luck, Jon!

1. Yes, a hundred times..yes. n/t

[billhicks76]

14. Valentines Hearts For Liz

So much love for her. Hillary and the other sell-out corporatists and NSA/WarMachine/MassIncarceration apologists can disappear off the radar please and do the country a favor.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

2. Gotta love Elizabeth; she just gets it.

[dgauss]

3. That's it in a nutshell.

Or maybe it's a nuttweet.

[lob1]

4. I hear she's not running for Stewart's job, either.

[WillyT]

5. Huge K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[Fearless]

6. Which is why we need both of them

Tonight feels like the night Carlin died. I can't stand it. We'll lose so much when he goes.

[NYC_SKP]

7. Warren gives Jon a run for his money in calling out the Washington haters!

Love them both!

[rurallib]

8. Got to wonder if the show will survive

or will the last real place on the major cable be quietly put to rest?
Warren is dead on.

[VanillaRhapsody]

9. all my favorites are going away....

I am still not over losing Randi Rhodes!

[DeeDeeNY]

16. Me too!

I still don't understand what happened there.

[blue neen]

10. It's so true.

We will really miss him.

[quakerboy]

11. I hear NBC is looking for someone who has credibility...

Anyway.. damn. Ive been ignoring news for a while now, so this is the first Ive heard of this. With no Colbert, and now Stewart leaving, that will really be the end of any live TV that I had interest in watching.

[KamaAina]

32. And Comedy Central will be looking for someone who's good at, you know, embellishing things.

[Jamaal510]

12. Even though

I never really went out of my way to watch his (or Colbert's) shows, I still thought they were talented. We need more shows like these, especially with the traditional media doing its job less and less and with more people around my age getting their news from comedy news shows.

[demigoddess]

13. K&R

[riversedge]

15. Spot on!

[Cosmocat]

17. Oh, I give the fuck up

I fought hard for 10 years and just have resigned myself to not being able to do anything about the stupid.

I don't watch cable news anymore, even MSNBC, and my ONLY respite, being able to laugh at the stupidity, was taping the Daily Show and watching it during lunch.

He is hands down the smartest, toughest and most honorable guy out there.

No one is even close.

[freebrew]

18. Totally agree...

the nation will miss him.

I hope he gets another venue, but he might be tired of the stupid as well.

Can't blame him.

[Cosmocat]

24. He's done it a LONG darn time

Yep, can't blame him ...

[RiverLover]

19. To lose him the same year as

Bill Moyers is really tough.

Huge loss for the good guys.

[Enthusiast]

20. How could the Fascists start a world war with Colbert and Stewart calling them out every night?

The RW has chipped away at the media for decades now. Once these last few tiny enclaves of truth are gone the world is truly and completely fucked.

[randome]

21. Someone new will take their places.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font][hr]

[Enthusiast]

23. Right

[Enthusiast]

22. K&R! This post should have hundreds of recommendations!

[lark]

26. I'm so sad!!!

Jon was a true American treasure. We could always count on him to skewer the idiocy of the puffed up 1%ers and their handlers, the msm. How will the GenXers find out the truth without it being revealed by Stewart? They certainly won't find the information on CBS, NBC, Faux (heavens no) or ABC - those bastions of disinformation.

Wah!! I love Jon and will pine for him every night at 11pm sharp once he's no longer on Comedy Central.

[Duval]

27. He had our backs.

I can't think of anyone, besides Colbert, I will miss more than Jon Stewart. I'm very sad to see him leave, but of course I wish him well. Perhaps we will hear more from him in the future. Hope Springs!!

[calimary]

28. That just sums it up. And the travesty is that this dude on Comedy Central is the one we can

trust - with the serious grown-up stuff FAR more than the so-called TV new "grown-ups."

Gives a whole new meaning to "and the 'children' shall lead..."

[Jefferson23]

29. I wish I could recommend her comment more than the aloted here..it was a perfect

tribute to John Stewart. Warren is not only correct..she is dignified and classy at the same time.

[SoCalMusicLover]

30. Olbermann.....Colbert.....Stewart......

One by one, the patriarchs of the left are slipping away. Or in Colbert's case, being properly muzzled by the corporate powers that be.

[KamaAina]

31. Hey, I know! Maybe he could be her not-running mate!
