    Andrew,

    I hear you. I’ll add that I’m not a fan of the Republican primary field either, including Ron Paul, though the way he’s been repressed by everyone in the media is somewhat disturbing. Stewart isn’t one of my favorites, but he was right on in this clip.

    Wonderful. Loved it.

    Speaking of fair and balanced, let’s at least note that it wasn’t just Fox that was dismissive of Mr. Paul, CNN and MSNBC got just as much play in that hilarious piece. I’m not a fan of any of them, and this is only a small part of why.

  • I had heard of Jon Stewart, but this was the first time I ever saw video of him. Good work on his part. Good point, too.

  • And you thought the invisible man was just in the movies.

  • Good find and posted.
