‘Daily Show’: Economic Meltdowns Have Their UpsidesPosted on Sep 18, 2008
Hey, now that Jon Stewart mentions it, that whole government bailout thing starts to sound a lot better: We, the taxpayers, just bought a really, really big insurance company. That’s like having two hotels each on Boardwalk and Park Place in Monopoly, right? Comedy Central: Advertisement Previous item: Wait, Bush Doesn't Have Superpowers?

That’s the second time Jon has made reference to how he’s personally kind of taken a bath in this financial crisis.
I know he’s no-where near broke (not like me anyhow) but I don’t think he’s joking when he says this has made a dent in his own personal finances.
