Jon Stewart paused on Thursday to appreciate the common ground already reached between President Barack Obama and Republican leadership in Congress just days after the GOP’s midterm sweep.

“Regardless of which party is currently grieving, they’re gonna have to find a way to get along,” the host of “The Daily Show” said.

After listening to soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) talk about finding areas of “agreement” and Obama say that he takes his GOP foes “at their word,” Stewart appeared choked up.

“You know what, I’m sorry, that is inspiring,” he said, speaking slowly.

“To see two long-term rivals come together, after an election, and unite around a shared message of disingenuous horseshit,” he added.

Stewart then returned to one of his favorite themes, namely the resemblance of McConnell to “literally, biologically—a tortoise.”

  2. Rat bastards never admit to being rat bastards. If you listen to what they say instead of paying attention to what they do, you will always be confused.

  3. I question Jon Stewart’s priorities and perspective. But then again I don’t get paid millions of dollars to turn low-hanging fruit into lazy political humor.

  4. i encourage you to use your own incredible wit to achieve the success Stewart now enjoys…there is nothing lazy about creating this brand of satirical humor. you want lazy…check out the mind numbing tripe coming from our beloved MSM

  5. Jon Stewart is the only JOURNALIST who has the balls to tell the truth. Under the guise of comedy he delivers pointed political commentary while CNN and Fox News deliver cowardly bullshit under the guise of news.
