Jon Stewart On Newt’s Moon Base: He Wants To Leave The Earth ‘For A Younger Planet’

video
» 123 comments

Newt Gingrich‘s moon mission idea got no love from Jon Stewart on The Daily Show Thursday night. Despite getting some earlier sympathy from astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. Jon Stewart lit into him for having the audacity to propose such a lofty idea while dissing other candidate’s ideas as crazy. “A moon base?! Your solution to being accused of grandiosity is ‘give me eight years and I have have a f*cking moon base?!” Stewart seethed. “Did you start with Death Star and got kind of reined in?”

Stewart lambasted Gingrich for proposing such an idea and at the same time, suggesting that nobody takes Ron Paul seriously.

“You’re right, Mr. Moon Base, they won’t take Ron Paul seriously. And that’s why I’m going to make Ron Paul my first ambassador to Moonlandia! He’s out there! So what exactly are we supposed to do with this moon base?!”

Stewart then played a clip of Gingrich jokingly suggesting he’d make it a state, which flummoxed Stewart, but soon he had it all figured out.

“I see what’s going on here, this isn’t about making new states. Newt Gingrich did that global warming ad with Nancy Pelosi realizing that the Earth is very sick–and now he wants to leave it for a younger planet!”

    Wants a getaway upon the moon

    Ok, let me see the facts…

    The economy is so bad because of large government spending.  Therefor we must slash spending to entitlement programs, defund medicare and social security,  fire unionized federal employees (or break their union) and hire children, and make our tax rate the lowest in the world.  The rational behind this is that government cannot do anything right, overpays itself, and is buried under tons of bureaucracy.  We cannot go spending beyond our means and expect a better world.

    Therefor I want to build a base on the moon.

    Logic.

    This Jon Stewart guy???

    He has been on the national radar since 1993.  He had two talk shows in that time, was rumored to take the 12:30 slot on CBS when Letterman was hired, has appeared in a few major motion pictures, has been on the Daily Show for over 12 years now, hosted the Oscars, he tours nationally (at large theaters) doing stand up, and had this huge rally in Washington DC last year.  You make it sound like he just appeared out of no where.

    I understand your point, but making it this way shows you to be very ill informed at best or completely sheltered at worse.  It would be the same as me saying “this Glen Beck guy” or “This Rush Limbaugh person.” I don’t agree with their politics, but I am not ignorant to their existence.

    Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are hideous because you don’t get jokes most Americans do? It’s sad that someone — who apparently lives with such a pessimistic outlook — can’t see this irony in their own posts. If you did, it might be enough to finally allow you to have a real laugh. Josef Frtizls? That’s the kind of stuff to make jokes of. Wishing for New York to get a 14th Century plague makes me wonder where your “intellectuality and virtue” are at.

    I know. It’s the comics fault that the GOP candidates make his job so dam easy.

    When Jon goes after Dems it’s because he’s trying to provide cover. When Fox goes after Pubbies, it’s because they really are Fair and Balanced.

    Jon has his own show and calls it as he sees it, just like Hannity, ORielly, Beck etc. The difference is he’s funny, his satire often makes a point, and is generally more honest.

    You never paid attention to the Planet of the Apes films huh? I bet Newt has and he will not do it.  Like when he said we should bring back orphanages and ban abortions.  His defense was orphanages can’t all be bad because of “The Bells of Saint Mary.”  (I am NOT making this up) At least this way he will have a nice crop of workers for his inner city sanitation plan.  You know he is a historian right?  Did he learn about Nazi Prison Camps by watching Hogan’s Heroes, the plight of the inner city by watching “Good Times,” and his beliefs in evolution by watching “The Flintstones?” Though it is surprising he wants to do a moon base, he must have not seen 2001 or Apollo 18 yet.

    I really didn’t think that you leftists were so dumb that my straightforward comment needed to be explained, but here goes:

    Jon Stewart spent an entire segment bashing Newt for wanting to build a Moon base, as if it was some kind of crazy idea, when in fact, until very recently it was a very major part of NASA’s mission. The Space Shuttle program was cancelled so we could afford the Constellation rocket/moon base program.

    Now had Stewart informed his audience of trained seals that building a Moon base was an integral NASA mission prior to Obama cancelling it, his baseless attack on Gingrich would have fallen flat.

    Just another example out of many of the lengths of deceit Stewart will go to in order to bash Republicans

    As part of a sweeping post-shuttle change of direction for NASA, the
    Obama administration’s shift to private-sector rockets and spacecraft
    will include government development of a new heavy-lift rocket for
    eventual manned flights to a variety of deep space targets including,
    ultimately, Mars, an administration official said Tuesday.

    While
    committed to terminating the Bush administration’s Constellation moon
    program, the president supports development of a scaled-down version of
    Constellation’s Orion crew capsule for use as a space station emergency
    escape vehicle and possible technology test bed.

    The point is you cannot have it both ways.  You cannot be for  shrinking the size of government by cutting “wasteful” programs like unemployment, only to build a base on the moon for no other reason than to show off.  As for the other countries, Russia does keep work on the international space station and China would like to launch a few into space, but that is more for satellites and communication (and spying, why we do it too) then exploration.  Plus this is a global economy.  If there is ever a moon base, it will be made privately with the help of many many countries.

    You know, AFTER your penny finally drops and you realise that you’re toweringly outwitted.

      I’m sure your petty ego desperately needs to believe that. Knock yourself out.

    Relatively speaking this board and every post on it is insignificant. Posters come here for different reasons. Light entertainment, current events, and the occasional exchange of ideas and information. Then there’s the ones, like yourself, who contribute nothing but simply like to bash others in as nasty and hateful a manner as possible.
    Do you think you’re original in that? Hardly.
    Personally I think people who find entertainment in being consistently hateful to strangers should seek some help, but that’s a non professional opinion. It would be great if you demonstrated you were capable of anything else. I know I’d feel better, and I think deep down,….you would too.

    Reliance on insult is not a sign of intelligence.  You sound like a silly and insincere thinker.  Do better.

    Great, populate the Moon with republicans, they are lunatics anyway…

    The moon would be an EXCELLENT place for this batch of “conservatives” (Gingrich, Bachmann, Perry, the Tea Parties, O’Donnell, et al) to set up shop and start a nation.  Amazing how these “conservatives” want smaller government, etc unless money is used to support their ideals, wacky ideas, religious “morals”, etc on more normal (centered) people.  And then they say the media is “liberal” because it makes fun of them.  Too bad Mitch Daniels isn’t running – though the Republican nutcases probably wouldn’t nominate a sane/stable candidate.  But now they’re stuck with Romney, a Republican, lighter skinned Obama….

    blow hard, you can have it both ways…  i submit to you that space exploration will ultimately yield a far greater roi than pissing away money on poverty pimping…  you can DOUBLE nasa’s budget by a mere 1% cut in entitlements…  but we don’t have to cut either, i’m merely illustrating the futility of thinking nasa’s budget as having any effect at all on social programs…  and if you can’t imagine a purpose for colonizing the moon other than to simply show off then perhaps you’ll be content living underneath a chinese or russian death star…

    as for eyeofnewt, your star trek crack indicates that it’s you who is the short-sighted clown who would have told columbus he’ll sail off the edge of the planet…  but hey, at least you care about people…

    As long as “diversity is our strength” our days of exploring the final frontier are pretty much over.

    I have to admit that I found it funny, but perhaps you are suggesting that the Republican candidates are entertaining enough? I mean maybe the Gingrich Moonship Colony path to statehood is a valid idea to consider as a way to solve the economic and political problems of our times?  Or that the Romney flip-flop (a Republican phrase) on health care is based on enlightened ideas and not blatant GOP ass kissing?  But you know what would be really funny?  If the GOP actually had one valid idea to move the country forward rather than pretending to be the font of knowledge of (pick one: Jesus, the Founding Fathers, Ronald Reagan) would do.

    You may want to research the constitution.

    The “general welfare” doesn’t mean welfare.

    Thomas Jefferson explained the latter general welfare clause
    for the United States: “[T]he laying of taxes is the power, and the general
    welfare the purpose for which the power is to be exercised. They [Congress] are
    not to lay taxes ad libitum for any purpose they please; but only to pay the
    debts or provide for the welfare of the Union. In like manner, they are not to
    do anything they please to provide for the general welfare, but only to lay
    taxes for that purpose.”
