Will Jon Stewart criticize Dodd for writing the bonus provision?

[oneguy]

First Dodd lied and said he had nothing to do with it. Then the next day, he finally admits to adding the bonus provision language in the Stimulus under the direction of the Treasury.

Will Jon Stewart , the defender of everyman, come out and say something like:

I understand you want to make writing legislation entertaining, but it's not a [expletive] game,"

Why wouldn't he? He went after some Dems last night.

[Dim Reefer]

Why wouldn't he? He went after some Dems last night.

Did those Dems happen to attack the O-greatone?

[Raoul Duke]

yes - Dodd pushed the blame to the administration - and we know how much that gets Jons knickers in a twist

[oneguy]

When Stewart calls out Dodd for doing his little dance regarding this bonus provision (ya know adamently denying it at first, then admitting to it the next day),

then come talk to me.

He can criticize Dodd for giving in to Obama, but I doubt Stewart will actually point fingers in the right direction.

hell attack dodd for saying it was the admins fault

[Mohawk5]

Who cares what John Liebowitz has to say about politics.

[educ8er]

Just an entertainer. No relevance.

[tinydancer]

Just an entertainer. No relevance.

Problem is, Jon not only thinks he's relevant, he thinks he's actually part of the Obama administration much like Chris Matthews when he said it was his JOB to make Obama look good.

These people are crazy. And we should mock THEM at every opportunity for being in the Obama Army.

[Raoul Duke]

Just an entertainer. No relevance.

that is an interesting statement...

[ksdb]

Maybe he'd tell Dodd that the economy is not a ****ing game??

[bonchie]

No.

In his little monologue he might crack a joke...but getting him in for an actual tough interview? No.

[redbone]

Will Jon criticize the Obama's admin for tell Dodd to add the bonus provision?

[shrek]

John Stewart has gone after Dems many times.

Shoot he attacked them for stating we had lost in Iraq, among many other things.

Trust me. Stewart is not a partisan Host.

[shrek]

Just an entertainer. No relevance.

More people under the age of 30 Watched John Stewart for their Election news than any other source.

And that is even with John Stewart Openly admitting not only that he is an entertainer but that he tends to fudge the truth for dramatic effect quite often.

But that being said if a large group of voters is looking to him for news. He does hold relevance even if he is only an entertainer.

Thank you. It's a comedy show. Just because Republicans are easier to make fun of....

[oneguy]

Will Jon criticize the Obama's admin for tell Dodd to add the bonus provision?

Well yes. That too.

Ya see, he attacked Jim Cramer in an effort to show how he's looking out for all of us. Right?

Well, in this latest dust-up with the AIG bonuses,
the average Americans are pretty darn furious.

Right now that bonus provision in the stimulus bill points to the Obama Admin and/or Chris Dodd.

So now, this should be John Stewart's cue to stand up for the folks like he did went he went after Jim Cramer.

If he doesn't, then his attack on Cramer was just retribution for Cramer recently criticizing Obama.

So is Jon Stewart on our side with this, or is he a soldier for Obama?

[shrek]

Thank you. It's a comedy show. Just because Republicans are easier to make fun of....

Have you watched stewarts show???????????

He makes fun of both Dems and Republicans often.

[ksdb]

Yes, it's easier when you're predisposed to hate the opposition and can't handle when your own party is the butt of the joke.

Much like the right....

[ksdb]

Much like the right....

Hmmm, not so much. Both Bushes and Reagan all joked about themselves quite a bit. Sarah Palin made a great self-depracating appearance on SNL. Obama and Hillary play it straight.

Well, I'd like to be the first to point out that tonight, Jon Stewart had a segment including clips of Dodd saying both that he didn't put it in the bill and then him saying that he did and criticized him for it. Are you willing to eat your words or do you just wanna whine about the liberal media some more?

I'd bet on the latter.

[Stuball]

Did those Dems happen to attack the O-greatone?
and he took on Obama for wanting vets to use private insurance
of course since you only criticize not watch you wouldnt know that

[Stuball]

Obviously another person that does not watch the show

[barik]

and he took on Obama for wanting vets to use private insurance
of course since you only criticize not watch you wouldnt know that

He really nailed Obama on the vet insurance thing. "WHAT THE **** ARE YOU GUYS THINKING!!??? Veterans having to use their private insurance to pay for their combat related injuries? THAT CAN’T BE RIGHT."

Here's the clip of it:

He called himself a mutt

[Patranus]

I don't watch the show, but did he rail Obama for "turning the economy into a joke"?

Obama was smirking and joking about the economy all show.

[theDoctorIsIn]

There's quite a silence on this thread from the conservatives today...

[Mike88]

Trust me. Stewart is not a partisan Host.

A farther departure from the truth is not possible.

[ModerateVoice]

I like to see John Stewart have Obama on his show if only to say:

I understand you want to make being President entertaining, but it's not a [expletive] game,"

[DaveKlassix]

Why wouldn't he? He went after some Dems last night.

"Some dems".
