Comedian Jon Stewart and Fox News host Sean Hannity traded fresh blows Tuesday in their ongoing feud.

Stewart first got to talking about Hannity in an interview published in Rolling Stone. The comedian told the magazine that Hannity was “probably the most loathsome dude over” at Fox News.

“That’s just pure cynicism, and it’s horrible,” he said of Hannity’s show. “Everything is presented in as devious a manner as it could be possibly be presented.”

Asked if he would invite Hannity to be a guest on “The Daily Show,” Stewart said he had “no interest in that.”

Politico got a response from Hannity that ran down a list of the perceived failures of Stewart’s “beloved” President Barack Obama.

“Jon’s problem is he has his head so far up Obama’s ass he cannot see clearly, he is obviously better suited to reading his joke writers material, and making his clapping seal audience happy,” Hannity told Politico.

The Fox News host also repeated his criticism of Stewart’s association with musician Cat Stevens, who supported a fatwa against novelist Salman Rushdie.

    And Sean Hannity has his head so far up his own ass he can see his molars from the rear.

  2. Anyone can watch streaming videos of Stewart all day long and have a raucous good time and wish they would never stop. But if it were Hannity videos instead, we would all be putting our affairs in order.

  3. “Jon’s problem is he has his head so far up Obama’s ass he cannot see clearly, he is obviously better suited to reading his joke writers material, and making his clapping seal audience happy,” Hannity told Politico.

    What a wordsmith! Oscar Wilde had nothing on this guy.

    Well Sean I see you have opened your self up and fell into to trap that Mr Stewart set for you,Popcorn down here please.

  5. It’s like a big stupid lummox street fighter who repeatedly gets his ass handed to him by a slightly smaller guy who can really fight. The big guy is so god-damn dumb that he simply can’t understand the other guy is better, so he gets his face pounded over and over again. It quickly becomes just sad. A happy, satisfying kind of sad, but sad all the same.
