A new Jon Stewart interview out today includes the late night comic going off on Fox News. In particular, Stewart honed in on Sean Hannity as “probably the most loathsome dude over there.”
“That’s just pure cynicism, and it’s horrible,” Stewart said.
“Everything is presented in as devious a manner as it could be possibly
be presented.”
Well, Hannity fired back in a statement to Politico
that mostly just highlighted how bad the economy is under President
Obama. He refers to Obama as Stewart’s “beloved president,” and asks,
“Do I even need to remind him about keeping our doctors, our health
plans and saving money? And how is that healthcare website working out? Or Iraq, Isis, the ‘Russian reset’?”
And then Hannity went for the jugular:
“Jon’s problem is he has his head so far up Obama’s ass
he cannot see clearly, he is obviously better suited to reading his joke
writers material, and making his clapping seal audience happy.”
He also brings up how Stewart’s Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear featured Cat Stevens, now Yusuf Islam, who made comments many interpreted as support for a fatwa against author Salman Rushdie.

Previously, we’ve discussed Obama’s belief that the GOP is the ‘party of
billionaires.’ He made that proclamation while on his way to attend a
$32,000.00-per-plate fundraiser at the home of a billionaire real estate mogul named - again, not a joke -“Rich Richman.” We’ve also talked about the desperate letters which ask people to give Obama five dollars so he can stave off impeachment.
...And we’ve acknowledged his refusal to skip fundraisers in favor of
actually doing his job because, as his administration puts it, schedule
changes might “alarm the American people or create a false sense of crisis.”
Yet all across the country, Democrats are regularly outspending their
Republican rivals as they desperately cling to control of the Senate,
and the “beg letters” continue to pile up. All of this, while Obama and
his allies run around moaning about how Republicans love fat cats and
how there’s too much money in politics. The hypocrisy is painfully
obvious.
Democrats love money in politics, as long as it’s their money in politics.
There’s nothing new about that, but it’s rare to see one of the faithful call them on their fearmongering cash-grab B.S.
Enter left-wing icon Jon Stewart. You may know him as the host of
the Daily Show. ...Or possibly as the man NBC wanted to install as host
of Meet the Press, before settling for non-comedian Chuck Todd:
Et tu, Jon Stewart?
