People have to stop thinking of comedians as officially-elected politicians.
Unfortunately, we have some major dumbos in this country.
ALL of them vote Democrat or Libertarian (just because they heard from someone's brother's sister that it was cool and you could smoke dope and stuff).
I used to like Stewart when he was an equal-opportunity political comic. Even though he obviously sided to the left, he didn't leave leftie causes and politicians unscathed.
Now he's just another Bill Maher.
It's funny that both Maher and Stewart are smart guys who put up weak and often superficial defenses for their cause. Maher because the Rat party isn't left enough, Stewart because the Rat party defies common sense.
