"Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own." ~Jonathan Swift

Jon Stewart Leaving The Daily Show

Jon Stewart is one clever guy, but he's no Mark Twain, H.L. Mencken, George Carlin, Stephen Colbert, or Mort Sahl. Stewart's sarcasm and smug, abrasive humor is limited to humiliation, simplistically profane language, and irritatingly, poorly timed, prolonged pauses.

Stewart gets in some great political jabs, but his humor is typically shallow and rarely self-directed or the human condition. His attempts at Jewish humor are insulting and border on mockery.

To paraphrase Shakespeare, "Nothing in his show became him like the leaving it."
