If anyone watched the August 10th(today) episode of the daily show, he admits he should be president. I will try to get a transcript, to quote for truth.

I so very much doubt that.

But...I'd vote for him.

He'd get my vote.

I'd vote for him, if I were an American...

You know it's probably a joke right? :confused:

Yes, but would he refuse the nomination?

Good for him.

If Jon Stewart ran for President:

I would quit my job and work for his election full-time.

I would kill babies for their stem-cells and sell them to genetically defective homosexuals to raise money for his campaign.

I would get off my fat ass and actually vote.

I'd become an American for 15 years...and then vote.

um who is he? just out of interest...

Jon Stewart for dictator.

um who is he? just out of interest...

The only respectable media person in america.

bump

um who is he? just out of interest...
He's got a television show that's a parody of a TV news program and he often makes fun of politicians and political issues.

I'd vote for him, but I'd rather vote for Bill Mahr.

You probably just aired who would be his best vice president.

I think I am going to write in for him :p

:confused:

I saw the episode yesterday, but I guess I missed the quote.

If he ran, then fuck I'd run faster than hell and help him out!

That would be the most totally sweet election year in the history of man kind.

A person of the media, AS PRESIDENT?! They are WAY to smart. They can make snap decisions, lie well, and are popular. When Presidents are are slow thinkers and stink at lying.

He should be president! I'd vote for him!

:upyours: vote for JEB BUSH Make the bush family a dictatorship :upyours:

the following are possible republican candidates I want BROWNBACK to recive the nomination since i am from KANSAS

George Felix Allen -- Current U.S. Senator and former governor of Virginia as of May 2nd, 2005, a survey of 75 Washington insiders conducted by National Journal's The Hotline reveals that he is considered to be the current front-runner for the GOP party nomination.

Sam Brownback, senior U.S. senator from Kansas. In April 2005, the Associated Press reported that Brownback, who is little known outside his home state, "is using a network of social conservatives and Christian activists to raise his profile" in such battleground states as Iowa and New Hampshire.

Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and former U.S. Representative from Georgia. According to the Associated Press, "The former House speaker who led Republicans to power a decade ago said he soon will visit Iowa and New Hampshire to promote his book, try to influence public policy and keep his political options alive." The AP reported him as saying "Anything seems possible," including a White House race.

Mike Huckabee, governor of Arkansas. An Arkansas News Bureau Report indicates that Huckabee has told close friends that he will seek the nomination. There is at least one Draft Huckabee site online.

John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona. Often characterized as a Republican maverick in the Senate, he is a well-known political figure in America. Despite his strong pro-life stance, his willingness to compromise on judicial nominations has drawn the ire of conservative groups, many of which have vowed to work against any McCain campaigns for the Republican nomination in 2008. In 2000 he lost the Presidential nomination to George W. Bush.

George Pataki, governor of New York. Considered something of a dead man walking as Governor, and unlikely to defeat Hillary Clinton for her Senate seat, Pataki has held meetings with his advisors and has quietly indicated that he's very interested in the Republican nomination.

Mike Pence, U.S. Congressman from Indiana, Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, has been mentioned in several articles lately as a rising star in the Republican party and as a presidential contender . There are already at least three websites up hoping to recruit Mike Pence into the 2008 race.

Mitt Romney, governor of Massachusetts. WFXT, a Boston FOX affiliate, reports that Romney supporters have been quietly laying the groundwork for a presidential campaign. On February 21, 2005 he spoke before South Carolina Republicans; the winner of the South Carolina primary has gone on to be the Republican nominee in every election since 1980. Romney is supported by Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr., who has been working on issue papers for Romney.

Tom Tancredo, U.S. Congressman from Colorado and leading advocate for securing U.S. borders. The Associated Press reported Jun 12, 2005 that "he is so dissatisfied with the pace and direction of immigration reform, he is considering running for president to deal with it himself." Tancredo has visited early presidential primary states New Hampshire and Iowa to begin building popular support.

Will Samantha B. be his running mate? Talk about a hilarious pair... would be an interesting four years... somewhere in the back of my head, I am remembering how Rome made a mockery of the Emperor's office...but Jon Stewart would be great...

Rob Cordrey (sic) for Secretary of Satirical Rant,
Louis Black, White House Press Secretary (Opens every press conference with "Listen up, you effin jackasses!"
Stevel Correl (more sic?) for Secretary of Straightfaced Absurdities
Mo Rocca, Secretary of Defensiveness

be a good cabinet

Louis Black, White House Press Secretary (Opens every press conference with "Listen up, you effin jackasses!"

I think that was Ari Fleischer's line.

I'd vote for him, but I'd rather vote for Bill Mahr.
I like Bill Maher and all, and his HBO special "I'm Swiss" was really good, but Jon Stewart pwns him, and besides, with Stewart, you get Stephen "It's French, bitch" Colbert as VP. What more could you ask for? :D

On a side note, the best joke in Maher's special was when he started talking about Ann Coulter, and when the audience hissed a little, he said, "she's a completely different person when she's cumming."

Off-topic much?

OMG that would be a dream candidate. I believe that he truely does care about freedom and the United States as well as the rest of the world and would never compromise his priciples (As seen from his appearance on Crossfire.)

He would be the perfect president!

Best thing: He won't quit doing the daily show!!! He'll personally tell you the truth about the country and the world and make people really understand :D

But if he won, he'd have to satirize himself on his show...

That would make for some intresting TV! :D

I saw that episode :D

Sounds like a write-in campaign next election.

Haha! That would be so funny.
I'm betting he would have no problem with it as he makes fun of himself, his show and his religion all the time

Sounds like a write-in campaign next election.

I'm seriously considering it.

I'm seriously considering it.

If its something like McCain vs Hillary, I might just do it. A campaign where the democrat will lose, and the republican isnt so bad.

I'd vote for him, and I'm Canadian.

Agreed, I could handle McCain - I don't think he would be a puppet and seems to do what he thinks is best, not what's best for his party.

Maybe McCain could be Jon Stewarts running mate :P

I might have agreed with that a couple of years ago, but after watching him toady up to Bush during the 2004 election, not a chance. He's sold his soul for one last shot at the Presidency, and I wouldn't vote for him on a bet now.

Hmm yeah good point. Still It would put my mind at great ease to have McCain replacing Bush. I'm not anti-Republican - I'm Anti-Neo Con or Anti-Stupid Ideas.

I'm partisan, without question, but I would have voted for McCain in 2000, had he been the candidate, and even in 2004 if he'd run against Bush in the primaries. But the way McCain sucked up to Bush on the campaign trail after what Bush's campaign did to him in 2000 in South Carolina said to me that McCain will do anything he has to in order to be President, even abase himself to people who accused his wife of being a drug addict, who questioned his patriotism and called him a Manchurian candidate, and who played the race card about his adopted children in push polls, and I can't vote for a man who would allow those kinds of attacks to go unanswered. If I were McCain, they'd have had to pull me off of Karl Rove after that kind of shit.

The Sturt Administration:
President: Jon Stewart

Vice President: Steven Cobert

Secrertary of State: Samantha Bee (Her solution to diplomatic disbutes "Who cares? There all pussies") :sniper:

Secretary of Labor: Ed Helms (Read the "If I were President" part in "America: The Book" to see why)

Secretary of Some Thing No Ones Heard Of: Rob Cordree

Cheif of Staff: Lewis Black

At his inauguration, President Stewart will swear on America: The Book.

I can just imagine the next four to eight years...

"Mr. Vice President, some nation disagrees with our policy in Mess O'Potamia! Guess which one?"

Vice President Cobert: Its French, Bitch! :D

I can imagine that there will be a lot of great new words to add to the Presidential lexicon that we might hear at press conferences. I'm thinking stuff like "dumbassery"

lol! This so weird! like a day before this thread, I thought, "I wonder what kind of an administration the Daily Show would make?" Stephen Colbert could convince everyone not to vote except for those that would vote for him! (The "Of Course Your Vote Counts" part in America: The Book)

I wonder how who President Sturt would appoint to the Supreme Court...

Meh. I don't want to be president. I'm too much of a centrist to become president. Besides, people hate me enough as it is, I don't need another 48% of America's voters on top of it.

Methinks you were not who he was referring to.

Ahhh, maybe. I thought he meant I could run against him. Then again, I was kind of zoning out during all of my posts tonight up until the tax one, simply because boredom makes me zone out.

I would vote for him too-he's got some crucial things one needs to be successful in gaining the presidency...money, looks, and publicity......but of course, I really like the fact he's smart and has a sense of humor:p

I would vote for him since he would be the only politician that would make fun of himself and not be insane

um who is he? just out of interest...

Only if I'm in the ruling class.

Screw that. Dave Barry in '08.

Screw that. Dave Barry in '08.


That would actually be an amazing election year: Dave Barry vs. Jon Stewart, my two favorite satirists. Oh man, I don;t know who I'd vote for. . .

or even better: a Stewart/Barry ticket!

Bump ftw

Bump ftw
Did you ever get the proof?
