My problem with Stewart is he learned nothing from his stupid "Rally" in
2010 when he told people in what turned out to be the midterm election that
had the most dramatic effect in shaping where we are now that their vote
didn't matter.
It's clear he's set in his "both sides are bad" mindset

JS should actually pay Tucker Carlson to do stuff every week, because he is
a never-fail foil. They could make him a Monday correspondent for the show,

Fun fact - it was only about 2 years ago that I finally realized that the
"I want my MTV" riff from Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing" is the same
riff as The Police's "Don't Stand So Close to Me". I'm not sure how I
managed to miss that for several DECADES, but there you are.

I doubt anyone will be surprised to hear I'm very leery about this. On his
