In the time it takes you to read this post, “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart will have added a new weapon to his arsenal of biting political commentary—something he calls his “confused Dubya face,” in which he cocks an eyebrow, looks directly into the camera, and asks (in his best hick voice), “uh…is the answer ‘nucular,’ Alex?”
Ever supportive of Stewart’s unique genius, Lewis Black slaps a knee and giggles like he’s naked, stoned, and riding a feather boa.
That Jon Stewart, what a talent. If he plays his card right, in 5 years he could be up for Conan’s old gig.
Unless of course in the meantime he sprains his face contorting into one of those trademark expressions we love so much. Then, sadly, it’s straight downhill to Air America, assuming it’s still around. Hope he’s doing his lip yoga exercises…
Am I the only one who finds it almost criminally ironic that the other “major” political figure to pronounce it that way is Michael Moore and Hugo Chavez front man Jimmy Carter.
And he was Captain of a “Nucular” Submarine.
(retroactive shudder)
Captain?! I think not. He left nuke subs like me, a Lt (equivalent to a Captain in the AF and Army, but not even close to the rank of Captain in the Navy)
Totally off the topic but great idea with the CafePress swag. I noticed there’s room on the T-Shirt row for one more- might I dare to suggest you go vertical with one of your “brief conversation” themes?
I suppose in the effort of fairness Jon will do a dog face representing Kerry and ask “Is that assault weapon an ‘ewwwshee’?
my bad.
the comparison stands, though.
…but were his nipple hard? That’s the question.
…nipples…unless he lost one in a freak titty-twister accident.
Ah’m bettin’ it were, Ah reckon.
IMHO John Stewart’s about as funny as a funeral procession. If he’s still around in 4 years it’ll be selling Time/Life ‘Hits of the 90’s’.
