Well, Nugent didn't say that. He, during the 08 primaries, held up a machine gun at a concert and said that Obama and Hillary could "suck on this". But since he's white, I guess its okay lol #sarcasmaboutcommon.

Actually, watching the episode, he went to a segment on John Edwards. And last week he was saying "Anthony, just tell the truth and get it over with." Thats not "off the hook" imo.

Yea, I know those weren’t his words exactly, but that was certainly the message.

How is that remotely ON the hook then?

Mr. Simpson, people say you killed your ex-wife. Just tell the truth. Did you see that basketball game last night, what a doozy!! /scathingassessment

Off the hook would be ignoring the story all together or just talking about all the questions about the story last week. He didn't do either. He gave Weiner the same sarcastic treatment as anyone's gotten.

Commenting about the pic as "gee, I wish I looked like that" is grilling him? Yeah, in your world.

as someone who amateurly puts together comedy shows, I can tell you it is hard to change with only 1.5 hour lead time and tat is without tv production issues. Stewart more then made up for it tonight....

and what a trooper, cut his hand and kept it beneath the desk throughout the taping...that is pretty impressive

tuckahoeskin · #37 06-08-2011, 09:03 AM

What we (Conservatives) have a problem with concerning Weiner and Stewart is their lack of integrity on this issue. In order to stand for something, you have to say no to some things. Stewart protected Weiner until he was FORCED to do something. It's an integrity issue. Period. That must have been some clique they had in college....

And to say Stewart didn't touch it because he only had and hour and a half to put something together is assinine. It was in the news for over a week. It came out Memorial Day Weekend. When a CONGRESSMAN named WEINER is accused of sending SEX TEXTS your only reason for not lampooning him is because you are a POLITICAL HACK who lacks I-N-T-E-G-R-I-T-Y.

Along with that, I can't say I'm surprised the usual suspects didn't bother to start this thread last week. Had it been a republican, we'd have seen three pages on it within the hour.

Can't we all just get along? Apparently not.

As a Comedian, he has no "journalistic integrity" standards to meet. The guy can lampoon whatever he wants without it calling into question his integrity.

The guy held off on lampooning his friend. BFD. (and I didn't see last night's show to know whether he put his friend to the flame)

Hannity, who is subject to journalistic integrity standards, refused to condemn his friend Ted Nugent for saying that Obama should suck on his machine gun.

Jesus, did you guys get your panties in a bunch when Carlin would rant about things near and dear to social conservatism, or did you just say "That George is a crazy comedian".

We all (everyone that I can see) agrees that Weiner is a doosh, mostly for lying about the penile photographic distribution.

This Jon Stewart crap looks to me reaching for something to argue about because you don't like that he shows, just about Daily, Fox News manipulating soundbites out of context in support of the propaganda dujure of the day. He also shows MSNBC doing the same thing, but much less of that. Why that matters to anyone, liberal or conservative is completely beyond my comprehension.

Exactly. He has no standards to meet except comedy. All that matters is that people find his show funny. If conservatives don't find it funny, they should stop watching his show. Problem solved.

I think it's simpler than that. Conservatives just don't like the fact that he is liberal. That's it. They portray it as as an integrity issue because Stewart claims he has no political slant. Of course, all news shows make that claim even when they are slanted (see for example any show on Fox News on the conservative side, or Anderson Cooper on the liberal side). That trend has only increased over the past 10 years. Stewart's just doing the same thing as the real shows he lampoons. The difference, of course, is that those shows do have an obligation to report the news objectively, whereas Jon Stewart does not.

I don't see people making the same complaints about Bill Maher, Dennis Miller, and other comedians with political TV & radio shows. Perhaps it's because they are less popular?

i watch Daily Show just about every day, and every day last week he was making fun of Weiner....maybe not with the open flame he sometimes does AND HE ADMITTED THAT ON AIR, but the r&B song, The continual poking fun at the non answers he gave as to whether that was his penis. They had plenty of stuff to go after and did so.

AIts not Stewart's fault that at the same time Palin was mangling American History....again.....or the Mormon opened up his presidential campaign to no one. He played to his base audience like a damn good comedian will. He hit Weiner in the opening segments on just about every show last week, then moved on, what do you want him to do?

Keino · #44 06-08-2011, 10:32 AM

Just want to point out again, nobody is defending Weiner and the thread has become about Stewart and the Daily Show.

Another key point. A newscaster without integrity probably wouldn't tell his audience that he was friends with someone in the news. But that's exactly what Stewart did in Weiner's case. And then he went on last night and spent the entire first segment of the show tearfully apologizing for downplaying the story last week. What integrity!
