I love Jon Stewart.
About a week ago, Rick Santelli, one of the resident loons on the CNBC financial news network, had a seizure on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in the form of a 4-minute screed against President Obama for his plan to help homeowners in danger of defaulting on their mortages. (Don't bother clicking the link; his rant is excepted in the clip below.) Santelli had agreed to appear on Stewart's Daily Show yesterday, but he and CNBC cancelled at the last minute. Jon Stewart's response was to publicly eviscerate Santelli and burn CNBC down to the floorboards in a superbly-researched piece that shows conclusively why the "fake news" Daily Show is in fact the best REAL news show on American television.
Don't watch if you don't have 8 minutes to spare, but if you do, be sure to stick around for Stewart's final punchline regarding Allen Stanford's Ponzi scheme: It's proof that brevity really is the soul of wit. Enjoy!
