That guy has lost it and needs to be put in his place...thank God for Colbert. He's what Stuart should have continued to be.

He has been over reaching lately. The show still has good bits on it, but I think Stewart is having trouble being properly motivated(conflicted interests). When Bush was in office Stewart expressed genuine feelings, with Obama I think he might have genuine feelings regarding his criticism, but at the same time part of him has a difficult time expressing those feelings due to his support of Obama. Or, he's trying too hard to seem "fair" and criticize Obama whether he feels it's warranted or not.

I dunno really, he's certainly not at his peak. Perhaps he has just done the show too long and is losing interest/focus.

John Stewart still has hilarious bits, though. Just last week the bit on the Birthers was ROTFL.
