Barack Obama to Appear on The (Jon Stewart) Daily Show Wednesday (BARF Alert!)

We just got word that the studio is in full lock down mode. After all, Jon barely escaped his previous interview with this tax-and-spend terrorist of the center-left alive.

I can't help but wonder if Osama Obama is trying to fix one of Stewart's previous shows reflecting Biden's idiocy.

And they're calling Sarah Palin stupid? Beretta manufactures both shotguns and handguns. Ya just can't fix stupid.

do they have to give MCCain equal time ?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Internals must be stinking. Otherwise, why bother?

[trumandogz]

do they have to give MCCain equal time ?

No.

Why would you want the Daily Show to have to grant equal time to McCain?

[tina07]

what are the clown Stewart’s ratings? will anybody be watching? And WHO CARES!!!

[Caper29]

Obamanator doing ALL the hard interviews that last week. Mario Lopez now Jon Steward! Sticking to the issues! /sarc

It’s another 30 minutes of free advertising. But then I guess the Daily Show does that every night. Dems also get free air time from the non funny Letterman too.

I'm sure Stewart will be wearing his “Glorious Leader” knee pads.

Federal campaign law requires broadcasters to give all candidates equal time on the airwaves. That rule applies to entertainment programs like "Law & Order," meaning stations that run the show would be required to give other GOP candidates a like amount of prime-time exposure.

Exposure is exposure.

“Will anybody be watching?”
Yes. It’s pretty much guaranteed that the dope- addled twentysomethings who make up about 90% of Stewart’s audience will be watching. Though, they probably won’t be able to catch much of what is said, due to being distracted by all the funny colors and lights dancing in front of their faces.
In the words of Rick James, “Cocaine is a hell of a drug, heh heh heh.”

The Daily Show being on a cable network does not fall under the same rules as a broadcast network such as NBC which airs Law & Order.

Therefore, the Daily Show does not have to offer John McCain equal time.

However, Saturday Night Live (SNL) had Sarah Palin on their show two weeks ago and since NBC is a broadcast network, SNL will have to offer Obama equal time before the election.

So, look for Obama to be on SNL just three days before Election Day.

Thanks!

This is the show where 54% of the audience believes the Democrats control Congress. They could do better by flipping a coin.

Watching Jon Stewart apparently makes one stupid, and at this point, it’s the stupid vote that’s still up in the air, so.....good move by Obama.

[lilylangtree]

Well, those people who watch Stewart are voters. Also, I think that a little damage control (see my first comment that leads to a blurb on Stewart’s show) when the Biden clip made Biden look stupid.

Freepers are the best.
