I really like the Daily Show — a lot. I had a blast the one time I was on and Stewart struck me as an eminently decent guy. He does seem, however, to be getting more liberal. The last few times I watched he seemed incapable of avoiding editorializing for political points — not for humor. But last night he said one thing in apparent total seriousness. He said to John Kerry “obviously this is the most important election in our lifetimes” (I’m quoting from memory). Now, I know why some people believe it is and I know why others do too. But I would really love to know why Stewart thinks it is. The way he said it, it made it sound like this fact made the case for Kerry, which is odd.
