Related: About this forumJon Stewart Stewart Rips the Way-Too-Many SOTU Responses, Cruz ‘Imploding’
Jon Stewart tonight dived into the multitude of State of the Union responses last night, asking rather exasperatedly, How many fucking people are at this tea party? He figured that since Joni Ernst was a tea party darling, there wouldnt be an official tea party response. Well, there was.
Oh, and thats not even counting the responses by Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.
Stewart was mostly bored by Ernsts response and said her speech felt more like an application essay to Nostalgia University. And he had some tough words for Paul, a doctor and United States senator, over calling anyone else an elitist.
But it was Cruz messing up his address that earned an Implode-y award from Stewart for making his official State of the Union response look like a ransom video or porno.

(60,010 posts)1. I just watched Stewart's interview with Rubio from last week.
I was very appreciative at how Stewart can gently push buttons
and I was appalled at Rubio's demeanor. He is totally clueless, very egotistical, tone deaf, and very uptight.
Much like Romney.

Bullshit don't stand a chance against his wit.
But I don't watch TV so I missed it all...no loss, I knew I would find out eventually from people that matter, like the comedians.

So many choices aul, "let me impose my will". Cruz: actually heard his own bullshit. Joni: already making us squeal. And the "India expert".
