Obama Answered “Stupidly,” Says Jon Stewart
Just like President Barack Obama spent the majority of his prime time news conference talking health care before touching briefly on the Gates-gate situation, Jon Stewart spent a significant portion of his first segment talking about health care and closing it out with a focus on Gates.
And just like in Obama’s case, Stewart’s Gates take was the most newsworthy.
After mocking trying to stop the President from answering the question in the first place, he went on: “I wasn’t at the press conference last night, I also don’t have all the fact, but I think it’s fair to say Obama answered that question…oh what’s the word I’m looking for…stupidly.”
Of course, the conversation moved to the media, and the decision by the morning shows to lead with the Gates info. Meredith Vieira teased on the Today show, “Did he go too far and rewrite the headlines that should have been about health care reform?”
Said Stewart: “Yes he went too far, but I believe you rewrote the headlines.”
Bonus: If you never thought you’d hear “roll a dildo in glitter” on TV, that’s all about to change:
