16. Hmmm. Not quite as wretched as I feared

Some of his advice to Republicans was ok, like stop being hypocrites and why the bad hair. And the statement that Bush and co blew up the deficit is true. But the assertion that Obama did worse economically just isn't borne out by the fact that the deficit is shrinking and he didn't even attempt to prove it. So that was disingenuous. The Reagan worship was predictably shallow - Yay! We invaded Grenada! I don't know why but we did it and they won't forget it! And overall the preening egotism seemed more glaring than with a typical comic. So no, I think Stewart and Colbert have nothing to fear.
