NEW - Stewart on SOTU: 'Vague Pledges' from Obama and the 'World's Sh*ttiest GOP Open Mic Night'

[Tx4obama]

Jon Stewart taped too early last night to tackle President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, but he was back in force tonight with full-on coverage of the speech. While Stewart assumed Obama would begin by saying the State of the Union is strong, he was taken aback by the president’s decision to “mention everybody in America by name.”

1. Rodgers...

Stewart: "... Rodgers apparently giving it from a nursing home for civil war widows... "

p.s. I would like to see the GOP put a 'man' on a brocade loveseat to give the next SOTU rebuttal.
The GOP still has no clue about what is wrong with their view of women.

8. And Republican women have even less of a clue.

2. I'm really not feeling Jon Stewart anymore.

He's just silly to me. He has no substance in his monologues.

4. they have a pill for that

its called an anti-depressant.

5. Why would I take drugs when I have a remote control?

11. Agreed...

Humor is better when it has some semblance to reality. There were tons of specific things in the President's SoTU address, but you can always pick a vague sentence here and there from a long speech to build a false narrative that there were no specifics, which is what Mr. Stewart did.

6. couldn't agree more - stewarts a sellout

The man is clearly more about popularity than credibility (and yes he's a comedian, but so is bill maher, and anyone who watches both shows knows bill is way more genuine). I was disgusted especially with the way he made fun of Dawn Zimmer for coming forward with her clearly true allegations of Christie, and stewart seemed like a fox news anchor the way he made fun of her journal. Disgusting. I don't watch his show daily anymore - only the clips posted on here, in hope that they will appeal to me. Recently, they have not.

7. Yep.

3. He got his best line out in his first 2 minutes, admitting what we "do best"...

Yay, us!

9. The best from last night was Jon's riff on the GOP's BULLSHIT claim they want to work with Obama.

Jon recounted that 2009 secret meeting O'Connell had with Ryan and the gang where they all pledged to be against anything Obama was for, while publicly espousing bipartisanship.

Your post fails to mention the best from Jon's show last night.

10. Want truth, then ask the court jester!

The State of the Union Address has become a series of cliche examples of hard working Americans who are getting screwed just as badly now as they were 30 years ago.

I guess we'll have to excuse Jon if he isn't singing the praises of a President who talks about income inequality after supporting Bush tax cuts for the rich and is currently supporting another corporate giveaway trade bill that the hard working folks he mentioned in his speech aren't even allowed to see.

Another few years of "moderate" Dems "working hard" for the middle class and it'll simply slip into oblivion! Then they can give us examples of the people they really care about, the hard working 1%...
