Sometimes Jon Stewart annoys the hell out of me. He picks the wrong things to make jokes about

[LeftyAndProud60]

He should be making fun of Bachman, not POTUS

[flvegan]

1. Why not both?

[CreekDog]

8. Now we know Stewart is making fun of Obama

when what we all see today is Obama riding high after his speech last night.

[MrSlayer]

2. He is.

Right now.

[LeftyAndProud60]

3. It was lame. He spent too much time focusing on Obama's. NT

[gateley]

4. The POTUS is always the favored target, I think. nt

[elias49]

5. Who ISN'T hard on the POTUS?

[Skittles]

6. Michelle is not the only one who has it coming

[dionysus]

17. ?

7. Yes- Stewart should be Obama's court jester.

Someone to jeer and riducule his enemies for the delight of the court! LOL!

Please- Obama is the President-supposedly the most powerful man in the world. The SOTU address is mandated by the Const and is the relevant news item here. Not so much Bachman's response to the response.

He is a comedian, after all. I would not always expect a professional comedian to go after the fly when he can go after the big game.

9. Thank you!

His job has always been to make fun of politics and news media. He makes more fun of Dems now because they are in power, but even with that I think he still skewers the right FAR more!

10. Anybody and anything is fair game for comedy.

If you don't think it's funny don't laugh. But there's no such thing as a "wrong thing" to make jokes about. Personally, I think Bachmann is far funnier and more ridicule-worthy than Obama, but nobody should be spared if a joke can be made. I'd hate to see Stewart turn into a sycophant who makes fun only of people we don't like.

[Blue-Jay]

11. You are dead to me, Jon. DEAD!

DEAD!!!!

(am I doin' it right?)

[Clio the Leo]

12. lol, so THAT is why my DVR didn't record the show...

.... apparently after years of Obama indoctrination, it has learned to delete anything that bashes. :)

[Uzybone]

13. Dude, he barely even made a single joke about Obama

[TreasonousBastard]

14. I am so confused-- one day we are primarying Obama and the next we're...

complaining about a joke.

I no longer have any idea just how I should feel about the President.

[rufus dog]

15. West Coaster, so haven't seen it yet

But it is just a joke.

Can Jon be lame, fucking A yes, but he is a comedian.

[1896educational]

16. you can't hit a homerun every time you're up to bat

[Hell Hath No Fury]

18. I guess you didn't like Jon much --

the years he spent ripping on Clinton, either. :eyes:

He is doing his job. As expected, and needed.

[NoPasaran]

19. Minutes later, he did tear in to Bachman

Lighten up a little.
