Why I missed the Daily Show during the strike

Because in November, during their hiatus, a John McCain supporter asked him directly: "How do we beat the bitch?"



Which in another world, would have cut back to Jon Stewart following up with, "And after that, what do we do about the nigger?"

To which John Oliver would quickly retort: " Oh, don't you worry any about that, John. If you've read the headlines recently, you know that Hillary's husband, Bill Clinton, is already hard at work on that angle."

Stewart looks at Oliver, aghast. "John," he questions, sounds like you're saying that Bill Clinton is a bit of a racist." Oliver, deadpan: "No, John, I'm saying the whole Democratic party is racist. Case in point, when Joe Lieberman ran with Al Gore back in 2000 as his Vice Presidential running mate, the Democrats were perfectly fine with him on the ticket, but four years later when he ran on his own for President, no one voted for him. Two years later, when he ran for re-election to his Senate seat, they dumped him from the party altogether. Stewart, confused: "Well, how does that make the Democrats racist?" Oliver: "Well, John, if they're not going to vote for a Jew for President, what makes you think they'll want a pickaninny like Obama in the White House?"

Hey, now - careful, you're bordering on being a WGA scab there!

Oh, god, Francis-- I'm currently reading a mailing list where one listmember is wondering whether he can go see "The Daily Show". The person is a WGA member. I'm not going to embarass the doofus by giving a name.
