    Jon Stewart: America's best political commentator

    If you don't get Comedy Central, or don't have cable, or don't watch the Daily Show, you need to watch these video clips (these are about Katrina, but what I'm saying applies to just about every political topic).  Jon Stewart is, quite simply, a master.  He is no longer a comedian - rather, he uses comedy in the service of trenchant political commentary that is so much better than what anyone else is doing that it makes your head spin.

    I agree David. But remembr Jn is the talking face. Most of the stuff is wriiten for him. So it is the Daily Show writers and producers and Join Stewart who should get the credit.
