Misreading "The Daily Show"

You make the same mistake in your judgment of the Daily Show as many of your ilk.  The Daily Show has been less about attacking the administration as it is a commentary on the sorry state of the main stream media.  The Daily Show was funny before the Bush administration and it will be funny after because pundits and pols are here to stay.

I am aware that my ilk is parodied relentlessly on the Daily Show. But somehow I think Jon Stewart will not be quite as exercized when we're shilling for Hillary.
