Jon Stewart’s GOP Debate Recap: ‘A Mormon Gambling With An Evangelical Over Who’s The Bigger Liar’
This Saturday marked yet another soundbite-riddled Republican presidential debate, one Jon Stewart recapped as one of the worst for Mitt Romney. From the grave mistake of attacking Newt Gingrich‘s “one awesome idea” (establishing a permanent lunar colony) to the bet heard around the blogosphere, it was not entirely Romney’s night in Stewart’s eyes.

Stewart ribbed at the fact that it took Romney so long to come up with a disagreement with Gingrich, only to then attack the “permanent lunar colony.” “Gingrich is a life support system for bad ideas… and you reach in and pick out his one awesome idea,” Stewart joked. He then turned to Rep. Ron Paul, and noted that he did so well “the media that normally acts like Ron Paul is wearing one of those cloaks of invisibility invited him on a Sunday show.”
Stewart turned once again to Romney, however, because of the most memorable comment of the night: Romney’s $10,000 bet over the text of his book. “A Mormon gambling with an Evangelical over who’s the bigger liar– are there any commandments left?” Stewart joked.
Stewart then brought on correspondent John Oliver to explain what Romney’s problems were. Oliver offered that “everything about Romney tells the tale of a man who just fired your dad,” joked that every candidate has an Achilles’ heel (Perry couldn’t count to three, of course), and concluded that Romney’s path to victory was “embracing his inner rich douche.”
