Why can't we nominate Jon Stewart as the Democratic Candidate for

[KlatooBNikto]

the Presidency in 2008? I think he will make one heckava candidate and quite likely beat the pants off any Republican.

1. Because then he couldn't be funny any more

...and laughter is like air and water, you need it.

[sallyseven]

2. Can't have that. Lets make him King.

[FreedomAngel82]

3. Yep

And he can order us all to watch his show every night. ;)

[CatWoman]

4. or better yet

nominate a ham sandwich instead.

5. Who says Jon can't also be the host of the Daily Show?

[BigBearJohn]

7. Yeah, and he could have foreign dignitaries as guests

8. Yeah, and he could have foreign dignitaries as guests

14. Bush is pretty funny, although I haven't laughed at him for about 3 years.

He has to be a joke. The people in this country couldn't possible have elected him for any other reason since he's not qualified to do anything.

6. Errr... because he is a comedian ? (n/t)

[KlatooBNikto]

10. Have you seen Jon argue complex issues on his show? He shows

a better grasp of issues than the Chimp or any of the shills of our Press.

[MazeRat7]

13. Your not serious?... statement of the obvious is not better grasp...

But you almost had me going... *grin. Good one.

16. well he deals with jokes, and that's what Washington's full of

[seabeyond]

9. he isnt a democrat. anyone know him to be a democrat

i dont think he is

[Cleita]

11. Leave Jon where he is. The Repuke

character assassination machine would rip him to shreds in no time. He is best where he is standing on the sidelines making fun of them, making them squirm. Let seasoned politicians handle the Repuke attack machine instead, with Jon's help in pointing out the obvious stupidity of the other side.

12. I was driving one of my kid's friends home

earlier this evening. He's super smart, a great kid, and an iffy student. Really like him. He's wondrously cool with his baby sister. Always a good sign. He and I were discussing the Daily Show for some strange reason. He said, "that dude is so much smarter than anyone else who reports the news. And he's on the fake news."

Out of the mouth of babes. . .

17. More people in the "ad money demographic"

...get their news from the Daily Show than any other source!!!!

[pnutchuck]

15. I second that! We need a president with a sense of humor. n/t

[ObaMania]

18. Because he's a comedian for chris'sake!

If you want someone from the entertainment world, Jerry Springer would be a better choice. At least he really seems to know his shit. And on top of that, he may bring tons of white-trash repukes over to our side.
