For real though I have a soft spot for Jon Stewart and am actually 1 of 3 people in the world who enjoyed Irresistible. That said: I kinda agree with everyone else here. He's probably one of the best liberal voices out there in anything resembling the mainstream and certainly he hasn't fallen off anywhere nearly as bad as Colbert did...but that really just doesn't count for much anymore. The simple reality is that he is a die hard left leaning centrist liberal who probably has internalized horseshoe theory so much he can't be any other way. The best thing you can say about Stewart is that yes: he is sincere. He calls a spade a spade, says what he means and means what he says, and he doesn't bullshit you. That's laudable...but it doesn't make him right or mean he has any real insight into the current moment.
He's fired.
