Jon Stewart Knows GOP’s Problem: They’re on Crack
On Tuesday night’s episode of “The Daily Show,” comedian Jon Stewart narrowed down all the reasons why conservatives seem to be having a problem with President Obama politicizing the killing of Osama bin Laden to three things: selective recall, the fact that they can’t take credit for it, and that Republicans are on crack.

“So let me get this straight. Republicans, you’re annoyed by the arrogance and braggadocio of a wartime President’s political ad. You think he’s divisively and unfairly belittling his opponents, I see. I have a question: ARE YOU ON CRACK??? Were you alive, lo, these past ten years? It seems unseemly for the President to spike the football. Bush landed on a fucking aircraft carrier with a football-stuffed codpiece; he spiked the football before the game had even started!” -Jon Stewart, blasting GOP hypocrisy over President Obama’s Osama bin Laden ad

“Strange development in the Secret Service prostitution saga. They issued new rules of conduct on Friday, and on some trips they will send chaperones to make sure the rules are enforced. Am I nuts, or is this weird? We have to give the Secret Service chaperones to make sure they don’t get drunk and have sex?” –Jimmy Kimmel

Righteous Radicals Uprising
The radical right grew explosively in 2011, the third such dramatic expansion in as many years. The growth was fueled by superheated fears generated by economic dislocation, a proliferation of demonizing conspiracy theories, the changing racial makeup of America, and the prospect of four more years under a black president who many on the far right view as an enemy to their country.

I guess they figured it wasn’t worth it anymore to protect Newt from all the people trying to ignore him.” –Jay Leno
