After Losing RNC Reelection Bid, Jon Stewart Bids Farewell To Puppet Michael Steele

video
» 17 comments

On last night’s Daily Show, Jon Stewart mostly ignored the Golden Globes controversy, Piers Morgan and Sarah Palin and instead focused on last week’s election of Reince Priebus as the new chairman of the RNC. In hindsight, that was a sad day for many in the media, as Michael Steele run has been a font of terrific news stories, humor and, yes, the occasional gaffe. To mark his departure, The Daily Show had on his avatar, aka “Puppet Michael Steele” who gave a lovely farewell speech.

    Sad but true.

    When they interviewed the girl whom was a friend of Jared Loughner, she said, “my generation does stupid stuff”.

    I don’t know who wrote this headline, but Jon Stewart did not lose a reelection bid for the RNC. As far as I know, he’s never even run.

    That’s how we do it on the street, lunch meat! When a fight comes up, we bibble down!

  • CosmosDan

    He needs a Chris Matthews puppet who say really stupid stuff and doesn’t seem to realize it.

  • M Colins

    All Stewart has done is demonstrate a fairly obvious truth which is that ultimately every Leftie considers conservative blacks the “house Negroes”. He should just call him Uncle Tom and at least be honest.

    Memo to Comedy Central. Clips from the Daily Show are disabled here in Europe. You might think about trying to seed an audience by letting people see some of what you have to offer. Seriously; ask soembody in your marketing department to google the phrases “early adapter” and “opinion formers”. Just a thought.

    I’m proud you think of me as someone on the left. As for your thoughts of me being a racist. Well that just a matter of opinion. Enjoy them while you can. When the thought police take over you will not be able to call anybody anything anymore….
