Finally, Jon shows some integrity

 

(though he did try to soften the blow by bashing fox & other conservatives in his follow up)

A statement from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a recent Huffington Post article had Jon Stewart riled up on Wednesday night's "Daily Show."

 

In the interview, Reid suggested that Romney isn't sharing his tax returns with the public because he didn't pay his taxes for ten years. He immediately followed up that already-scandalous comment by stating that he "isn't certain" whether or not he's right and then adding that the late George Romney must be "so embarrassed" of his son.

 

?As someone who has truly and thoroughly disappointed his still-living father on many occasions, let me just say, that is a ******** shot," Stewart said.

 

It's not that the 'Daily Show' host is against poking fun at the presidential hopeful -- he did it himself earlier in the same episode -- it's that he wishes the senator's attacks were a little more fact-based. And, you know, he wasn't evoking the name of anyone's dead father in order to make a point.

Stewart has always shown integrity. Don't hate on the dude.

 

^This. Jon Stewart' date=' while clearly a left leaning man has always been willing to call out his side. He has criticized both CNN and MSNBC on multiple occasions.

 

I don't agree with him an a lot of issues, but the man does have integrity.

 

Also to the main point, what Harry Reid said was disgusting and he deserves to have his integrity called upon.

 

Oh and weird smilie just because our set lacks variety. [img']http://www.the-coli.com/images/smilies/wtf.png[/img]

I think Jon has always shown integrity. He is the only lefty I actually really like. If both sides came to the table and debated the way he debates with the guests on his show, 75% of the problems go away.
