Jon Stewart to Dems: ‘Pick Up Your Game’
"The Daily Show" host tells Larry King in that joking-but-not-really-joking way of his, "I'm leaving the Democrats out because I honestly don't feel that they make an impact. They have 49% of the vote and 3% of the power."
CNN via Crooks and Liars:
KING: You don’t want Medicare to fail?
STEWART: Are you insane?
KING: No.
STEWART: You’re literally asking me if I would prefer — yes, Larry, what I’m saying to you as a comedian I want old people to suffer, old and poor people to suffer. That is — that is — what we want is — what seems absurd to me is the length that Washington just seems out of touch with the desires of Americans to be spoken to as though they are adults.
I mean when you listen to Bush’s speeches, and I’m leaving the Democrats out because I honestly don’t feel that they make an impact. They have 49 percent of the vote and three percent of the power. At a certain point you go “Guys, pick up your game.”
