"That's It?" Jon Stewart Reacts To Press Coverage Of Hillary's "Emotional Meltdown"

Last night on "The Daily Show," taped when everyone believed Barack Obama would handily win the New Hampshire primary and before pundits started dissecting whether Hillary's tears actually helped her win, Jon Stewart reacted to the media circus surrounding Hillary's "emotional breakdown."

"That's it? That's the emotional breakdown that blows the election for her? I'm glad no one here ever sees me get a flu shot," Stewart said.

Why are men so scared of Hillary R. Clinton?

It must be the chronic no-balls syndrome combined with fear-of-mommy in charge.

Yikes. Grow up, already, you little shits.

[hmmmmmer]

Mr. Stewart has a better grasp of the news than idiots like Matthews and, unfortunately, yes Keith. They were such idiots about Hillary's doomed campaign.

Now they are talking about the uppity black and how his arrogance after his win in Iowa swayed people to Clinton. Playing the race card is going to make things better, I guess, in their mind.

Maybe I'm just naive, but WHAT? Why do these people try to direct the news instead of reporting it with an open mind? But, what does one expect from drooling, chortling, idiot like Matthews. What a tool.

Chris Matthews and the rest of the sexist, Hillary-obsessed haters wanted this to be the 2008 version of the "Dean Scream." I'm supporting John Edwards in the primary, but I'm half-glad that Hillary won New Hampshire, because it shows those Cro-Magnons that we're not buying into their crap this year.

Bush Sr cried.
Nancy Pelosi bawls all the time.
So does John Boehner.
Mitt Romney cried.
But let Hillary even SUGGEST she has beliefs that go deep enough to nearly move her to tears.....and my God! All hell breaks loose, and she's a totally worthless and rotten and canniving politician.
Enough of this bull!

NO MORE COMMENT

[synonys]

I am so glad that Stewart is back to keep the media in check!

[degjack]

Thank you, Jon. My feeling exactly.
Much ado about NUTHIN'!

With politicians and newsmen like these WHO NEEDS WRITERS !!! Puhleeeeze what writer could come up with insanity like our political process. And if one did his family would commit him as a danger to himself and others . Some network is missing a sure thing by not using Jon Stewert as their main political reporter . Or better yet Obama- Stewert 2008

Just for the record Hillary did not cry or even have tears on her face. Someone asked her a personal question and she choked up a little and got glassy eyed. The way Fox and even MSNBC have been covering this it's like she broke in to all out sobs and committed a crime. This is all ridiculous. I saw Edwards choke up on Oprah when asked a personal question. I have seen Biden practically break into tears out of anger. Why is it such a big deal to have feelings. Oh! I know because we have been living the past 7 years with no real emotion only false emotion brought on by lies. Bush lies about the war and creates an emotional uproar about another act of terror. His administration constantly talking about the mushroom clouds coming for us. How Al Qaida is coming for us. How we need to shut up and just deal because he is the decider. It is time for us to have a leader not a decider. Someone who can speak eloquently, lead generously, be diplomatic, and have a care for the whole country not just their base. A real uniter! Who cares for every American not just the one who voted for them and the one's who pay them off to do their bidding. We have real problems that take more effort then one good leader can provide. I saw it last night this country needs both Hillary and Barack to run together on one ticket. It doesn't really matter which is President and which is Vice President to me. They could work together to bring this country back to the healthy country it was 8 years ago.

Does anyone remember the EXACT SAME thing happening in '92?

Here's the scene: Bill Clinton, a few days prior to the NH primary, is getting ready to go on air with some NH telly talkinghead, the camera is rolling and catches him in apparent anger (anger is what we were told it was, by tv networks that played the piece over and over with hopes to influence NH and national Dem voters) on his reaction to an aide giving him information that Jesse Jackson had just announced his support for an opposition candidate.

I remember seeing this again and again on the teevee and thinking, as Jon Stewart does here - "Is that all?" Where was the anger? WTF?

Why don't media personalities just say it? "We hate the Clintons. We always will. We will do everything in our power to make their lives miserable."

That said, aside from calling the Clinton campaign a shambles, Hillary on the verge of giving up and this crap about her "emotional breakdown, I believe the attacks on Obama and Edwards have been fierce, unfair, and uncalled for.
