Then how do you explain his return to TDS?
It was either that or run for office and Stewart would apparently rather die than accept the biggest landslide victory of our time.
It's actually terrifying how amazing he'd be as an ideal president, he's a man who knows how to put forward a best face for an executive team specialized in different areas of preference and expertise, and he knows how to spot good talent too, that's literally the two most important things a president needs to be good at, everything else is set dressing as long as you know how to spot folks for your team that know their shit, and know how to translate that shit to a lay-audience.
Obama got astonishingly little done, but the guy knew how to make a big deal out of what he did get done, he rode Obamacare and killing Bin Laden like he'd been retiring bulls and broncos his whole damn life! Which he kinda had to because 2010 happened.
Stewart wouldn’t run for office.
You ever see the back of a $20 bill…on weed?
Could you elaborate on this cause I've been sitting here for 5 minutes trying to figure it out and it's actually going to keep me awake.
