Not an example of Stewart at his most insightful. Most of this is just mockery, not the clever analysis he's celebrated for.

Disagree—principle very obviously played some part in his decision to switch parties. In many cases, Specter has shown himself to be more liberal than most Republicans and even some Democrats. Stewart dramatizes the fact that Specter was forthcoming about the utility of switching parties for critical and comedic value. I call this irresponsible.

And his best can be hilarious. However, he is often not the greatest interviewer.
