Comedian Jon Stewart is done with all the breathless hyperventilating around former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s visit to retiring Sen. Tom Harkin’s (D-IA) annual steak fry in Iowa.

He first jabbed at Clinton when she delivered a speech at the steak fry where she reminded voters she’s “back!”

“I came third behind [former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC)] you motherf*cker!” Stewart said. “Come on Mrs. Clinton, just tell us if you’re running or not.”

But then Stewart pivoted to the coverage of Clinton visiting Iowa, playing a clip of NBC’s Chuck Todd saying there’s no turning back.

“There is no turning back,” Stewart said. “Abandon hope all ye who enter the Tom Harkin 37th annual steak fry…for your lot is cast. You’re running for President —muahaha muahahaha.”

He closed out by going back to MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough ranting that Clinton should just say if she’s running for President or not. Scarborough, Stewart reminded viewers, also went around on a “glorified book tour” in New Hampshire and didn’t close the door when asked if he was planning to run for President in 2016.

“If you’re going to run, just say you’re going to run and stop playing games!” Stewart said, paraphrasing Scarborough’s rant.
