that was pretty funny. Stewart was pointing out environmentalism have become a secular religion and ppl get VERY EMOTIONAL if you’re not dogmatic about it and not follow THEIR ONLY SOLUTION. Notice how at the end, his eyes darts around and he mention, being a vegetarian and the book is recyclable pretending to be afraid of those who will no doubt give him beef for blasphemy

I wonder if the likelihood of a certain Chicago politician having sex with a Chicago prostitute is on par the the likelihood of a Chicago cop having sex with one. Could there be a scandal somewhere out there waiting to happen?

Stewart was simply out-smugged. He refused to joust with a knight he knows is superior in both intelligence and glibness. Don’t think for a minute he has lost his edge, all he did was accept a draw rather the embarrassment of being cut.
