Comedy central does not have his monologue up yet, but I’m watching Jon Stewart talk about Jon Corzine’s clusterf%$# at MF Capital.
It’s not up on the web yet, but this is unbelievably brutal.
As I’ve said before, don’t piss this man off.
I’ll post it tomorrow.
Over the past few days, it appears that Congressman Anthony Weiner has been fingered* as having sent a picture of his package (underwear clad) on Twitter.
The evidence, as near as I can tell is that someone, with the active aid of right wing Rat F%$#er Andrew Breitbart, is Rat F%$#ing, because that is what Rat F%$#ers do.
Basically, I have nothing to add beyond what Jon Stewart, who actually swam with Weiner in his Younger days, and notes that his recollection is that, “This cat had a lot more Anthony and a lot less weiner.”
Just watch it.
I so envy The Daily Show writing staff.
*Pun not intended.
I really wish that I had half his wit.
I guess that this bit of genius is all about the fact that they are dealing with a very real sadness: Glen Beck could make their writing a lot easier.
When Beck was on a roll, they could finish writing the script by lunch, and adjourn to a coke infused orgy with transsexual prostitutes in the afternoon.
Or maybe they just played games on their iPhones in the afternoon.
Jon Stewart riffs on the fact that while every right wing ratf%$# out there can say that unions are causing deficits, it appears that no one at all gives a damn that GE effectively paid a negative sixty percent income tax in 2010, while cutting US jobs and shipping them overseas.
Of course, there was but one thing that the Obama administration could do: Make GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt the chairman of a prestigious commission to explore how to create jobs in the United States.
I think that between a choice of laughing and crying, I will go with sleeping like a baby: I will wake up every few hours screaming.
Jon Stewart explains the current sissy war going on between CNN and Fox News over their Libya coverage.
It’s why he’s the best news anchor in the business, and why we are all unbelievably screwed, because we have to rely on a professional comedian to find actual news.
Seriously, I do analysis, I write explanations, and then Jon Stewart, and the rest of the staff of The Daily Show explain everything, in simpler terms, and more entertainingly, in 4 minutes and 29 seconds on air.
You can’t simultaneously fire teachers and Tomahawk missiles…
This time, he notes the conflict between Representative Peter King’s full throated support for the IRA, and his the New York Congressman’s concerns about terrorism when the people blowing up school children and the occasional American are not white.
You know, I can think of no better way to encourage a 15 year old to consider making war against the United States than to have to hear Peter King talk about his religion in this way.
Brutal!
Jon Stewart, whose mother is a teacher, draws parallels between statements made about teachers, and statements made about the incompetent f%$# bankers who destroyed our economy.
Remind me to never piss off Jon Stewart, EVER.
Jon Stewart on how f%$#ing absurd the assault on teachers is:
Charlie Sheen with diplomatic immunity:
If John Stewart was Italian, Berlusconi would already be in jail.
Complete PWN463!
I while back, I mentioned 4Chan, I should add the inventive group of people known as Anonymous who ofttimes frequent 4Chan:
Anonymous, the online collective that launched DDoS attacks on Visa, PayPal and others in support of whistle-blowing site WikiLeaks, has brought down the web site of a firm helping the FBI to unmask its members.
Security services firm HBGary Federal had been helping the Feds to track down the individuals behind a number of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on companies including Amazon, PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Swiss bank PostFinance and Bank of America, after the firms suspended services to WikiLeaks.
In a sophisticated attack, Anonymous members hacked into HBGary’s website and posted an image containing a message explaining their actions. In addition, they downloaded over 60,000 messages from the company’s email servers and posted them on The Pirate Bay.
The Twitter account of HBGary’s CEO, Aaron Barr, was also compromised and used to tweet a number of offensive messages, as well as his home address, social security number and mobile phone number.
(Link to torrent mine, and I make no claims as to the safety or veracity of the data. I have not downloaded the data myself)
Yeah, and it has also been reported that they deleted HBGary’s backups.
Not only did they pick a fight with Anonymous, but it also appears that they are complete posers as well, who were leaching publicly available names from Facebook and IRC, and trying to sell this to the FBI.
Well, not any more, because, according to the letter that was the HBGary home page (above) they sent the data to the FBI themselves.
What a bunch of complete wankers, Aaron Barr and company that is, I have nothing but the utmost respect for Anonymous.
And so Anonymous is added to my list of People I Do Not Want to Piss Off, and HBGary is added to the likes or Razorfish, to my list of people who I would never trust with anything more complex than a mechanical pencil.
Then you shouldn’t be invoking about every 3 hours or so, as Fox News does.
So says Jon Stewart, so say we all. (Brutally wickedly and funny)
Ouch!
He gives a “half time update” of the Republican repeal efforts.
You can tell that he once roomed with Jon Stewart, and he is now on my list of, “People I Do Not Want to Piss Off”.
The New York Times describes how Jon Stewart pretty much single handedly saved the Zagoda from a Republican filibuster:
Did the bill pledging federal funds for the health care of 9/11 responders become law in the waning hours of the 111th Congress only because a comedian took it up as a personal cause?
And does that make that comedian, Jon Stewart — despite all his protestations that what he does has nothing to do with journalism — the modern-day equivalent of Edward R. Murrow?
Simply put, the policy here, medical care for 911 first responders, and the politics here, blocking medical care for 911 first responders would be seen unequivocally evil by the bulk of the American electorate, but somehow or other, the Democrats could not be bothered to hammer the Republicans with this, because, I guess, little Barry Obama doesn’t want Republicans to think that he’s mean.
This is something that Bill Clinton would have hammered every single day.
I do understand that it’s tough to get the attention of the press on this, what with, as Stewart observes, “it’s not every day that Beatles songs come to iTunes,” but this is absolutely pathetic.
Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw, who is just a bit displeased at the fact that took 12 years for Duke Nukem forever to come out.
Jon Stewart goes medieval on the Republicans who filibustered the 911 first responder healthcare bill.
Whoa.
My sincerest apologies for not mentioning the Rude Pundit earlier.
He is a very profane genius.
One of his more recent gems is about the Republican response to Obama’s capitulation, “Senate Republicans Have a Celebration Orgy“:
The Senate Republican cloakroom was filled with whores yesterday. No, not the senators themselves, who were taking the afternoon off from letting the Chamber of Commerce sodomize them, the better for their assholes to regain some elasticity. There were real, actual, non-metaphorical prostitutes there, female and male, paid for by Karl Rove’s American Crossroads GPS and its billionaire donors.…
In the name of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I implore you tor ead the rest.
Well, don’t forget it:
Jon Stewart 37, War on Christmas morons: 0.
They’re just not that into you, Barack!
Stephen Colbert is a genius.
Jon Stewart and Rachel Maddow take on John Sidney McCain III’s flip flopping, Rachel generally, and Jon just on DADT.
Damn, this is brutal.
100% true, but brutal.
