Can't fish up the name in my brain right now since its after midnight.

Jon said Cruz had to bow out because he "had to stay for a vote" - yes, Jon used the finger quotation air marks.

I honestly believe that Jon Stewart could make any of the GOP candidates cry if he wanted to. Trump might take a while since he is so delusional, but most could be backed into their hypocritical corners in short order.

his shrill tone is so annoying, one almost feels like thrusting an icepick into one's eardrum...the message is totally lost.

In the old "Once Upon a Time" fairy tales, the wolf would eat chalk to make his voice more enticing, in order to lure in the unsuspecting sheep.

... Heeey... That's a perfect metaphor! 😄
