“The Daily Show” host pointed out the hypocrisy in Sean Hannity’s double standard on the ethics of leaking classified information, and slammed Robert Novak for making light of destroying CIA agent Valerie Plame’s career.

Stewart said about the conservative talk show host: “Sean Hannity will not tolerate whistle-blowing, but he loves the bitch-slapping.”

Imitating Novak, Stewart said:

“For me destroying people is like a sorbet. A trifle–an amuse bouche, if you will. I have my eggs, my coffee, and then it’s off to jazzercize.”
