And Tea Party "crackpots." Such a country. We get multi-trillions in debt, suck our freedoms down the a-hole of oppressive and incompetent government, and reduce our issues to sexual
"preference, pot-heads, and crackpots.
No wonder cretins and midgets like Putin and puppet-masters like China scare us.

Spence, you slay me.. my comment was going to be " Pot and gays"... its all about pot and gays now.. distract from the real issues of course.
I want John Stewart to run and I want his cabinet to be his script writers. This of course will happen after marijuana is legalized and everyone is too stoned to be serious any more.

OUCH.....
'Mr. Stewart is among the lowest forms of intellectual parasite in the political universe, with no particular insights or interesting ideas of his own, reliant upon the very broadest and least clever sort of humor, using ancient editing techniques to make clumsy or silly political statements sound worse than they are and then pantomiming outrage at the results, the lowbrow version of James Joyce giving the hero of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man the unlikely name of Stephen Dedalus and then having other characters in the novel muse upon the unlikelihood of that name. His shtick is a fundamentally cowardly one, playing the sanctimonious vox populi when it suits him, and then beating retreat into “Hey, I’m just a comedian!” when he faces a serious challenge. It is the sort of thing that you can see appealing to bright, politically engaged 17-year-olds."
"Mr. Stewart is the leading voice of the half-bright Left because he is a master practitioner of the art of half-bright vitriolic denunciation. His intellectual biography is that of a consummate lightweight — a William and Mary frat boy who majored in psychology, which must have been a disappointment to his father, a professor of physics — and his comedy career has been strictly by-the-numbers, from the early days on the New York City comedy-club scene to changing his name (Mr. Stewart began life as Mr. Leibowitz) and a career-boosting stint on MTV, where he was second only to Beavis and Butt-Head in the ratings. He subsequently may have matched Beavis and Butt-Head’s popularity, but he has never risen to comparable heights of social insight."

ZZZZZZZ . . . that was well thought out . . . even a vapor minded Jon Stewart could have done better . . .
There could have been some punch and less of a sour taste with a
"yo mama wear combat boots" than your stale, lifeless "vapid".
