Jon Stewart Takes On CNN Tea Party Debate

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Huffington Post - By Jon Stewart - Sep. 14 (Comedy News) - Jon Stewart spent most of Tuesday night's "Daily Show" covering Monday's CNN Republican Presidential debate, including the pre-show grandstanding, the 'beatdown' frontrunner Rick Perry took from his fellow candidates and some of the Tea party audience's shocking reactions. If you watched the debate yourself you might have noticed the unusual level of reality show-style antics at the top of the show, including a montage featuring candidate nicknames, multiple introductions, the singing of the national anthem and a set that looked like "Betsy Ross's vagina," according to Stewart. That's why it blew Stewart's mind when moderator Wolf Blitzer told the candidates to keep their initial mission statements short.

Stewart Takes Down Florida Pastor Planning 'Burn A Koran Day' (VIDEO)

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Huffington Post - By Jon Stewart - Sep. 09 (Comedy News) - Last night on "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart had a field day mocking Florida pastor Terry Jones for organizing an "International Burn the Koran Day" on the upcoming ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Stewart mocked everything about Jones's planned torching of the Quran, including his use of the word "international" in the title and his ridiculous mustache. He also pointed out that various news outlets had compared the media firestorm around the event to that of the proposed "Ground Zero Mosque." Stewart noted the ridiculousness of the comparison, saying, "a Christian is an extremist for burning the Quran, and a Muslim is an extremist for reading from it." To get some perspective on the situation, Stewart turned to John Oliver, who called Jones a "radical, hate-spewing extremist." "This man is f***ing crazy," Oliver said. "He doesn't represent Christianity any more than "Dr. Laura represents the United Negro College Fund." Oliver and Stewart preceded to have a raucous debate about religion, prompting both men to read excerpts from their holy books: the Bible and the "Jewish manual" which happens to be "Portnoy's Complaint" by Philip Roth.
