The Very Smart Jon Stewart, Who Tells You How Much Smarter He Is Than Bush Every Night

From Drudge:

FLASHBACK: Stewart, during commencement address at the College of William & Mary, Williamsburg, blasted Bush and war: 'We declared war on terror. We declared war on terror - it's not even a noun, so, good luck. After we defeat it, I'm sure we'll take on that bastard ennui'...

"Terror" isn't a noun? When did this happen? I thought nouns were persons, places, or things, and terror would seem to be a "thing."

Main Entry: ter·ror Pronunciation: 'ter-&r Function: noun

Hmmmm... Merriam-Webster doesn't seem to have gotten the Stewart update on terror's new classification as a, what, precisely? What the fuck does he think "terror" is? An adverb? A conjunction? A... gerund of some sort, perhaps?

Fucking moron.

There are a lot of dumb people in the world. There's no point in insulting them, generally, just as there's no point in saying that someone is smelly or has a spooky-tooth somewhere in their mouth.

But what gets my goat (that's right-- gets my goat; I'll go that far, profanity-concerns be darned) is that there are a lot of people who are fucking morons but who are really convinced they're terribly bright and witty.

Well, I'm very smart. Just ask my Mom.

But I do know the basic parts of speech pretty well. I especially know nouns, because, you know, even a fucking retard can grasp the function of a noun and identify nouns with 95% accuracy.

But not, apparently, Jon "All This Undeserved Media Attention Has Gone to My Head" Stewart.

An utterly predictable response. Sad.

I posted about his bastard cousin Bill Maher earlier today. Like Jon Bill thinks he is a freakin mensa candidate, though he is more like a "one step away from columbine" candidate.

Want to know the worst part about Jon? He has a child. Some poor innocent baby who will have to grow up with that idiot.

Posted by: Jennifer on October 19, 2004 02:48 PM

Jon Stewart is a smart-ass that could be hilarious if he chose to poke fun at both sides equally. Instead, he has chosen the path of partisanship which automatically means that half his potential audience will have nothing to do with him.

How smart is that?

Ironically, the "party of the people" is populated by a group that purports to know more than their audience. I suppose that we are just to nod our heads and acknowledge their intellectual superiority. They will tell us how to vote and we should be grateful they do that.

My wife is a teacher and she constantly gets mailings from the state and national teacher's unions. I always say, "At least you now know who you are supposed to vote for." Not surprisingly, one year they endorsed BOTH candidates for governor. They knew the Democrat was going to get hammered in the election, so they had to headge their bet. That was very usefull campaign information.

Terror is a noun

Posted by: David on October 19, 2004 02:53 PM

"Ennui" is a noun too.

Posted by: Andrea Harris on October 19, 2004 03:04 PM

Actually I would venture a guess that 90% of Americans believe that nouns are literally "persons, places, or things" and things in the substantive sense. They can be touched, or in the case of war, physically attacked.

Now if you tried to explain that "Terrorizing" is a gerund (a verb acting as noun) - you'd lose them for sure and likely get a can of PBR thrown at your noggin.

But none here need to worry about any of that, because you're at least at the level of "fucking retard". Hey Ace, are you responsible for the bogus 'special olympics' flyers planted at the Fitzhugh HQ? - Very Rovian!

Posted by: Batman on October 19, 2004 03:15 PM

Ace - I think you're a fucking GENIUS!! Keep up the good work. :)

Posted by: Dianne on October 19, 2004 03:17 PM

Ace, please don't terror Jon Stewart. He's been terrored enough.

Posted by: Johnny Walker Red on October 19, 2004 03:19 PM

Ace, you've arrived. Apparently, the insufferable Noam Chomsky's now trolling your site under the pseudonym "Batman."

"Trolling." Hmm. Another gerund. Me smart now! I think me drink a PBR to celebratize!

John Jon Stewart is a potty mouth child. I think he at least has the half hearted integrity to point that out occasionally. Unlike the Barking Moon Bats of the liberal left in this country. He has made a point to say he is on following a show of puppets making crank phone calls. Welcome to the shallow money trench and plastic hallways of the teevee box. Turn it off. TURN IT OFF. Learn to paint. Do anything but make these people relevant by talking about them. If you ignore them they cease to exist, unlike terrorists.

/rant.

There once was wingnut named Johnny,
Who learned to Haiku from his Mommy.
His trick soon grew boring,
But no measure of imploring,
Could keep him from stroking his Salami.

Posted by: The Batman on October 19, 2004 04:09 PM

Queen,

In case you hadn't noticed, this blog is HOSTED by a 'potty-mouthed' child. Seriously - go back through the archives and find out for yourself. Most of the people who post here are 'potty-mouthed' children. This is not the place to point out that Jon Stewart is a potty-mouth and have that statement MEAN anything :-)

Posted by: The Batman on October 19, 2004 04:14 PM

People that think they know everything really annoy those of us that do.

Posted by: physics geek on October 19, 2004 04:25 PM

Batman, were you referring to Johnny Kerry or Johnny Edwards?

Potty mouth.

There once was a fighter of crime
Whose butler had taught him to rhyme
he screwed up the meter
while beating his peter
Pray next time he tries it in mime

Posted by: David on October 19, 2004 04:33 PM

***We declared war on terror - it's not even a noun, so, good luck. ***

... and this, mind you, from a partisan shill for the same party metronomically declaring "war against poverty," every four years... :)

there are a lot of people who are fucking morons but who are really convinced they're terribly bright and witty.

Why does every fucking post on this site have to be about Oliver Willis? Huh?

Posted by: Bill from INDC on October 19, 2004 04:38 PM

Stewart is just so above all of us. Sadly, he can probably get away with staying stupid shit (oh, sorry, I mean MERD) most of the time, because to be an intellectual among the liberals, you just have to SOUND like one. You don't actually have to know "stuff." Your merd don't actually have to make sense.

And, Queen, if it makes you feel better ... I've NEVER watched his show (just seen clips here and there.) Life is too short.

Posted by: Carin on October 19, 2004 04:42 PM

The Democrat in my household was actually in the same class at William and Mary as Jon Stewart, class of '84.

She remembers the following about Stewart...he a stoner who was always playing frisbee in the sunken garden. A nice guy. Not terribly ambitious, never worked too hard, but a definite stoner. There may even have been a dog, who wore a bandana, involved in those games of frisbeen.

Posted by: H.D. Miller on October 19, 2004 04:47 PM

Stewart is the typical political humorist who hides his cranial vacuity behind quick wit and bluster. He's basically a white male Whoopi masquerading as Chevy Chase

Posted by: TomS on October 19, 2004 04:50 PM

That's not fair, Bill. Sometimes Ace focuses on Sullivan.

I wouldn't have it any other way, keeps the rest of us from having to do it :)

Same goes for 80's trivia.

"Stewart is the typical political humorist who hides his cranial vacuity behind quick wit and bluster. He's basically a white male Whoopi masquerading as Chevy Chase."

I did not know Will Rogers, and Will Rogers was never a friend of mine, but Jon Stewart is no Will Rovers. Neither are Whoopi or Chevy. Will Rogers was a REAL political humorist. He wasn't mean, nasty, profane, or undignified, but he was funny, and he was brilliant in his humor.

That's 'merde' Carin.

C'mon, you guys remember "Batman" doncha?

That old ad where the Steve Young-esque quaterback gets clobbered and when asked who he is says "I'm Batman."

Methins our Batman is the victim of a head trauma.

Posted by: hobgoblin on October 19, 2004 06:08 PM

Batman? I think not.
"Johnny" rhymes with "Mommy?" Nope.
Bruce Wayne, he is not.

Posted by: zetetic on October 19, 2004 06:12 PM

That's "The Batman" to you, zetetic.

Villians and criminals of your sort are usually quite limited in their understanding of concepts both simple, and complex. They lack the ability to appreciate 'nuance', you might say - and can only understand things in black or white terms.

There are many types of rhyme. Assonant, consonant, weak, rich, scarce, etc...

Perhaps once I return you to Arkham, you will have time to study and become a poet :-)

Posted by: The Batman on October 19, 2004 06:24 PM

When I was a kid, I'd spend all my time trying to prove to other kids how much smarter than them I was by telling them all the grown-up words I knew. Meanwhile, I was oblivious to just how obnoxious I was and how hard they were laughing at me behind my back.

Thank God I outgrew that phase. Maybe someday "The Batman" will too.

Posted by: Brian B on October 19, 2004 06:38 PM

Ah, yes.... Nuance. I've always had difficulty with that. Keeps me from being a Democrat, I imagine.

Posted by: zetetic on October 19, 2004 06:51 PM

This week's Time magazine ran an ad for "The Daily Show" that summs it up perfectly:

1 Anchor
4 Correspondents
Zero Credibility

Do we even need to go beyond that?

Posted by: Steve L. on October 19, 2004 07:02 PM

Merd, merde, it's all shit to me. There was a reason I got "C"s in French.

Posted by: Carin on October 19, 2004 07:14 PM

"'Ennui' is a noun too."

You RethugliKKKan$ and your dictionaries.

Posted by: Jim Treacher on October 19, 2004 07:33 PM

Brian,

Please. - Obnoxiousness, abundant use of profanity, and pedantry are defining characteristics in the posts and many of the comments on this blog.

I'm in Rome, and I'm being a fucking roman, yo.

Posted by: The Batman on October 19, 2004 07:35 PM

Defense rests.

Posted by: Brian B on October 19, 2004 08:12 PM

I'm not sure what's going on. I thought Batman was a Conservative who used to post here (or over at Allah's). I don't know. At least the limericks are funny. "While beating his peter."

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:
Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!
Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.
