Last night, Jon Stewart had a good laugh over politicians who persistently use the phrase “the American people” as a “cudgel”: “The American people can sh*t rainbows. The American people look fantastic today. The American people can have any girl in this room.”

“I’m beginning to think that ‘the American people’ is a meaningless phrase,” he added, just like “‘the Founders intended,’ ‘our children deserve,’ and ‘nobody doesn’t like Sara Lee.'”
