‘The Daily Show’: Chest in ShowPosted on Jun 7, 2011
Well, this is awkward. Jon Stewart had the unenviable task of responding with humor to the bizarre spectacle that was his friend Rep. Anthony Weiner’s big reveal—both in sexting form and in the congressman’s eventual admission of guilt—on Monday’s “Daily Show.” Stewart’s writers didn’t give him much wiggle room on this one, either, but sometimes the cringe-worthy can be funny. —KA Comedy Central: Advertisement New and Improved CommentsWe are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

Even more ackward, Jon Stewart (real name Jon Stuart Liebowitz), has an older brother, Larry Liebowitz, who just happens to be the New York Stock Exchange chief operating officer.

For those who have lived in a cave for the past 20 years when it come to the
Report thishuman anatomy you can find high definition, vivid, pictures of anything you can
imagine on the internet. The congressmen posted some fuzzy examples of himself
on twitter, so what? Wars, double dip recession, unemployment, debt limit,
Medicare, and social security suddenly take a back seat since Andrew Breitfart has
an agenda. Who in the hell put this thin skinned a-hole in charge?

Is Stewart mispronouncing his name? If it’s spelled “Weiner,” then shouldn’t it rhyme with “shiner”? I haven’t heard a single news item, so I don’t know how it is being pronounced on air.

My guess is a guy like Weiner isn’t really putting out sexual material into the
Report thisethernet for women to admire. He’s trolling for guys. The recent “bride” may just
be a cover. To quote Seinfeld- “Not that there’s anything wrong with that”....but
he seems to be a deceitful guy.
