There's right-leaning comedy: take Larry the Cable Moron (who's not even from the South...fucking impostor, the accent is faked). The problem is, right-leaning comedy tends not to be politically aware or insightful. Most of the great comedians with a political edge have been left-leaning, like George Carlin or Lewis Black. And for what it's worth...IMHO Stewart is a genius. It almost makes one believe in God that, just when we need a figure exactly like him, there he is, yet sharper and more brilliant than you could have imagined. No one else is as capable of revealing the horrendous corruption and hypocrisy in our society with that inimitable combination of razor-sharp logic, in-your-face visual evidence, and deadpan wit. And I don't blame him one bit for going after Cramer. He made Cramer look like a schooled puppydog last night. Why? Because Stewart was right.
