Jon Stewart lamented on Wednesday night’s “The Daily Show” that until the Clinton-Mezvinsky baby is eligible to run for president — 2052, folks — all we have to look forward to is a “lame remix” of Clinton v. Bush.
“Thank God we fought a bloody war against England so that political power would no longer be consolidated in but one family,” Stewart quipped. “Because to my mind, two just makes sense. I mean, consolidated in three families, that’s too much. Then you got yourself a whole ‘Game of Thrones’ thing going on, you got the killing, you got the sex. We’re going to keep it to two families — it feels right.”
Stewart goes on to detail the speculation swirling around former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s (R) future plans, the gravitational pull of Hillary Clinton’s potential candidacy on everything in the political universe — Monica Lewinsky included — and how Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s (R) “glasses of ensmartenment” could give him a second chance at the presidency.

Can I haz Benghazi? !!1111!!one!!!
Our system is so messed up.
Thing is, who else would be a viable, electable, reasonable candidate? I’m struggling to get beyond the two that have been mentioned and I’m coming up with no one.
After the last two or three presidencies, who in their right (or left) mind would ever want this job? Most thankless and unrewarding job on the planet.
I miss Jon living over here and not being able to see the videos (and refusing to subscribe to Murdoch’s Sky which carries CC).
And the reason is lines like - glasses of ensmartenment
Looking forward to 2 and a half weeks in CA later this month to catch up with him, Colbert and the new boy Oliver (how’s that going?)
I like Stewart a lot, but there is nothing lame about electing the first woman POTUS, who happens to be as qualified for the office as any person who has ever served.
