Fantastic satire, as always

I don't think I can embed Comedy Central vids, or I would. This is sheer genius.

I nevner found him that funny. His delivery is too forced and unnatural. he needs to take acting classes or do standup. He relies too much on the shows editors and visual producers to do the work for him and the result is an unfunny show. Particiarly when its hinged on pivotal topics, that aren't as decisive as he makse them out to be. He's just not a talented actor, I'm sorry. He could learn a thing or two from Dave Chappelle. That guy can take retro style material and say in a way thats just hilarious.

as for the actual content, I am not up to speed on what is going on so I could only make assumptions baseed oin what he was saying to figure out what must be happening,

Is there a reason you're posting month-old comedy shows?

Nothing wrong with it, simply wondering why we didn't see it a month ago if it's so great. Then, it'd at least be current.

I cant get it to load. He's ok, sometimes he can be funny... for a communist! *dramatic chord*

Edit: * funny, not fully.

I generally like Stewart. I can't click video links from american networks, though. (I believe the Canadian comedy central channel posts them online as well, but I'm not motivated enough to try to figure out which one I should look at.)

It's the "11/3 Project" riff on Glenn Beck that Stewart did. YouTube vids are hard to find, since Viacom dictates their play solely on the Comedy Central site (and, for a short time, Hulu).

I realized Stewart needed to quit when the target of the satire, started emulating his show. For instance, that lady on MSNBC or whatever that looks just like him! There's no way it's a coincidence. She even has a supposed-to-be-funny skit thing she does.

I liked it. Bit drawn out for a bit though...

Craig was the man sorry.

Admittedly John Stewart has made the show "his" in the years it's been in his possession, but Craig's classic version is much preferred to me.
