Everyone knows that Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee for President, everyone except Rick Santorum that is. As Jon Stewart examined on tonight's Daily Show, even while suffering the crushing defeat of the three most recent primaries, Santorum still can't accept that it's over. Instead, he compared himself to Ronald Reagan in 1976, like you do.
Was there any chance that Sarah Palin's Today Show appearance would escape the eye of Jon Stewart? Nope, not by a long shot. Stewart opened tonight's Daily Show with a complete breakdown of Palin's appearance, from her completely fabricated opening anecdote to the one sentence that epitomizes every part of her brand.
Mitt Romney is the presumptive GOP nominee and a lot of prominent Republicans have endorsed him in recent weeks. Yet, for some reason, everyone who endorses him seems to not be truly sold on Romney, they're just picking him because there's no else. On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart broke it all down.
On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart took a look at the Supreme Court battle over Obamacare, specifically the way the two sides don't seem to having the same argument. Instead, the Obamacare supporters are talking about the specifics of how health care works in this country while the opposition is talking in platitudes about freedom. Is there any wonder which side lost?
On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart examined the revelation that ground beef contains a substance called "pink slime," or "finely textured beef" as the beef PR people have put it. This is greatly troubling for Jon, especially considering that this stuff is too fake for McDonald's.
On tonight's Daily Show, reporter Samantha Bee traveled to Park Slope, Brooklyn to get some first hand accounts of the fight over a proposed ban on Israeli products being waged within the Park Slope Food Coop. As expected, her report highlights the ridiculousness on both sides of the issue and throws in a solid skewering of the coop itself to boot.
The Daily Show returned from a week off just in time to weigh in on the latest developments in the Trayvon Martin case and the latest ways that the cable news networks are handling the situation. Turns out they've been listening to racist snippets of George Zimmerman's 911 call and wearing solidarity hoodies. But still, none of it is as shocking to Stewart as the fact that Zimmerman is yet to be charged with anything.
As discussed on tonight's Daily Show, Fox News decided not to cover the primaries last night but instead chose to focus on their standard whining about the liberal elite and President Obama's poll numbers and NPR. Yet, they somehow managed to scoop CNN on the primary results, even though CNN was reporting the returns before they were official, making CNN the biggest loser of the night.
On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart took Fox News to task over the way they have exemplified the way the right has played the victim in the aftermath of Rush Limbaugh's comments about Sandra Fluke; they've taken an "offsetting penalties" approach and roped in the fact that Bill Maher called Sarah Palin the C word in the past. Of course, the fact that they condemn Maher with the same language they use to defend Limbaugh is beside the fact.
After the Invisible Children Kony 2012 video blew up last week, Jon Stewart took some time on tonight's Daily Show to look into both the video and the media's reaction to the video's popularity and message.
On his program the other night, Fox News' Sean Hannity pimped a decades old tape of President Obama speaking in support of a controversial Harvard Law professor. On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart answered that tape with a tape of his own, showing the fringe lunatics that Hannity associates himself with.
Jon Stewart was promised that Super Tuesday would bring an end to this incredibly long Republican primary season, but that didn't come pass. On tonight's Daily Show, Stewart took out his frustrations on the candidates as well as CNN's Wolf Blitzer.
On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart took a look at the increasingly pointed war rhetoric coming from Israel, Iran and the United States. It seems the case that since all three are in the midst of election cylces, no one is going to be turned the noise down any time soon.
On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart addressed the comments Rush Limbaugh made about Sandra Fluke. Stewart attempts to decode Rush's insane logic and finds it a pretty difficult task.
While debating the Blunt Amendment on the floor of the US Senate, California's Barbara Boxer quoted a bit from an episode of the Daily Show that aired last month. So what if her rendition of the bit was long, rambling and totally didn't do justice to Stewart's material?
On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart recapped the inane time-killing methods that the cable news networks, specifically CNN and Fox News, had to employ during last night's coverage of the primaries. The Fox Newsies argued about home state vs. native state and Anderson Cooper took a walk to a gigantic glass cube to get no new information whatsoever. Good times all around.
Tonight's Daily Show took a look at an issue that should be a surprise to no one: that Fox News is little more than a mouthpiece for the GOP. How bad is it? Their hosts are reading position papers that the GOP sends out to help them shape the debate about the recovering economy. Yes, it really is that blatant.
Boy were Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum up to some crazy stuff this weekend. Romney couldn't get out of his own way in Michigan, apparently he thought mentioning all the cars his wife drives and all his NASCAR team-owning buddies would help him not seem like an elitist. And Rick Santorum railed against college because being dumb is preferable now. On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart broke it all down.
On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart turned his attention to last night's Republican debate. Besides being miffed that we've had to endure twenty of these events, Stewart also couldn't believe Mitt Romney misquoting Seinfeld, Rick Santorum's reasonable explanations and the one word each candidate used to define himself.
