After Tony Snow announced the results of Bush?s recent physical, “The Daily Show? host seized the opportunity to mock the president?s weight gain. Snow declared that the president was ?fit for duty? although he?d gained five pounds, prompting Stewart to remark, ?Mr. President, I know things are tough right now, but you can?t eat your way to happy.?

Stewart also took issue with Snow?s choice of words, following the news that yet another Arabic-speaking soldier had been discharged for being gay. ?Clearly, as a gay man, Bleu is utterly unfit to serve his country by translating the enemy?s language. But while we may have lost Bleu Copas, another man was declared ready to serve.?

But when Bush, in a speech, began talking about eating crabs with the 1972 Miami Dolphins, Stewart decided that the president had, finally, gone off the deep end.
