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!

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

Potty mouth.

***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... :)

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.

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?

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

Brian,

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

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."

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:
