Jon Stewart and “Mr. Hillary Rodham Clinton” making the numbers work!

"The (Supreme Court) ruling that anyone who’s arrested — even accidentally — can be strip-searched was decided five to four, with the votes for the searches coming from the Court’s five conservatives. You know — the ‘defending personal liberty’ guys. Which is weird because I’m not a constitutional scholar, but I’m willing to bet Big Government feels it’s biggest when it’s inside your anus."

JON STEWART, in re: this, on The Daily Show

Jon Stewart took to The Daily Show last night (11/10/11) to talk about the Penn State child sexual abuse scandal, and gave a serious commentary about how people knew of Sandusky’s abuse and didn’t do anything, as well as the recent student rioting over the firing of coach Joe Paterno.

The very end of this is worth heeding for Penn State fans: “And just like with the Catholic Church, no one is trying to take away your religion, in this case, football. They’re just trying to bring some accountability to a “Pope” and some of his “Cardinals” who fucked up. So don’t worry, on Saturday, you’ll still get to go to ‘services’ against Nebraska. No one’s going to take that away. Because, obviously, you’re young. And that would be a traumatic experience. And we wouldn’t want that memory to scar you for life.”

Once again, Stewart delivers a first-class shaming to people with their heads so far up their asses they can’t think critically.

Still waiting to see what crime Paterno will be charged with; my guess:  nothing.

Excerpt from the unedited Jon Stewart interview of Bill O'Reilly on last night's "The Daily Show"

JON STEWART: I think you and I are agreeing on principle, but maybe not degrees of which: do you think this past decade, this past 20 years, has been a good 20 years for the wealthy?
BILL O'REILLY: Yeah, I would say it's been a good 20 years for the wealthy, with the technological advances and things like that. Look -- I don't have any sympathy for the pinheads who were stealing money, and doing all the derivatives selling, and doing all the day trading. I don't like these people, all right? And I think there should be government watchdogs and set up rules where they can do this and you can't do that.
STEWART (interjecting): So you're a Democrat.
O'REILLY: On that, I am!

hey, but if you are on the “good” side of that inequality and you make all the rules, what’s the problem?
