Dear Jon Stewart,
I have watched the Best, no, Not Just the Best of Larry Sanders. Have you seen it lately, because given where you are now its fun to see how you've always been cool. I am currently watching your April 29th broadcast. Booyah to the side-kick awesomeness. Nobody but you can make that shit work. I miss Ed Helms. I miss Vance DeGeneres. But what of that? Now The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has bigger fish to... Hey. Unclean.
And here comes Newt. Fuck him. Seriously. Bill Forstein wrote the whole thing most likely. That's the kind of phony he is. Studying McCain. Idealism v. Cynicism in your work, are you kidding me? That any Republican would feel good about ... ? Woman versus Black, the Republicans scoff. If any Republican listened to Senator Obama's speech and didn't cry, it's no wonder he would now accuse you of cynicism... Being hateful?!?!?! Is that what Wright is??? Puh-fucking leeeeez. This is a guy who is responding to a presidential candidate who essentially and very factually has retorted that black people are not angry, but are more complex and, yes, are not all about the intensity of rhetoric with which Wright chose to show his faithful condemnation of a corrupt body of politicians which has always been present in this country. Obama is trying to speak for more than just those who understand what Wright feels or had to express. Newt talks of Wright getting even. It's more about Wright reminding people that he is more than only what he has been blown up and decontextualized to be, but still has stuck true to his perhaps limited perception of the world. I still think Hillary should drop out.
Well at least Newt's for promoting books.
Thank you for making the airwaves a little saner.
