The House of Stewart

On this week's The Problem with Jon Stewart, they offer their Election Wrap-Up Special.  As the site writes, "Who won?  Who lost?  Are we still a democracy?  All we know is that everyone is happy and absolutely no one is questioning the results."

We know one other thing -- his opening monologue analysis is wonderful.  Very funny, angry, pointed and smart.  (By the way, while I totally agree with his point about the monumentally overhyped, hyperbolic dramatization of the news coverage, I saying that the election was just about individuals going to the polls and voting goes too far in the other direction to make a point.  The race was close, and there was a great deal at stake which easily could have had very different, impactful results.  But he's very right, all that could have been presented significantly better in the news than as "A War!!" or a sports contest where only the score matters.).

The episode is about 35 minutes.  I can’t embed the video, but if you click on the link here, it will take you to the website, where you just click on the “Play Episode” button to watch the show.
