Looking at the whole series of clips at the daily show website, two things struck me:
1) man, the guy flip-flopped on Bush, several times. What an utterly gutless, pandering git. Honour and courage my @$$.
2) whoever thinks Mac is funny is delusional: he has a couple of well-rehearsed jokes for different situations is all. Remember the "sleep like a baby" joke he made in his recent post-election interview? It's there in the final segment, January 2004.

I hate everything about McCain. He is a self-serving a$$h0le that would do and say anything to progress his political career at any price. McCain is on the same level as Bush.

Actually, Bush is a lot less pandering than McCain; with Bush you usually know where he stands, with McCain what comes out of his trap always depends the audience.

Ronald Reagan, they say, had a great sense of humor - so freakin' what? Didn't stop him from being the third worst President our Democracy ever barfed up.

So I simply don't understand any Liberal/Progressive who ever liked McCain. The guy has a sense of humor. Yippee. Maybe he thinks turning our country into a Corporatocracy is hilarious, or promoting racial hatred to win an election is a rib-tickler. But he wasn't running for Rich Red Neck Stand-Up in Chief. He's a charming liar who smiled his way past people who weren't paying attention - and this includes Mr. Stewart. And I like Stewart! But lets face it, his having McCain on the Daily Show more than any other politician was a huge boon among those who would consider voting for any chuckle-worthy coot.

And don't forget--the media is soft of Obama.

I, too, am sick of the giggle and tickle parties that the guys (Stewart, Letterman, Leno) like to play with Mac. I have no respect for McCain or his crew.

In the end Jon Stewart was so complimentary, if anything he was down right angry at McCain, especially about Palin. One episode I recall his intro did not contain one joke, just an endless tirade!

John McCain is actually a pretty funny guy. If he hadn't changed his entire ethos to accomodate his "base", perhaps Americans would have seen that.

Either way, the best man won but I wish no I'll will towards McCain.... Palin however, should retire to Anchorage and never be heard from again.

You are a very forgiving person--aka liberal.

Me? Not so much.

The guy is the leader of all sell-outs.

Thought cutie pie could win the woman vote. He can rot.

I worked my butt off making sure the "sell out" didn't win... but I really do think that had he shown his humorous and empathetic side, he might have had a shot. I agree that he SOLD OUT completely. He just pulled a Bob Dole and didn't show enough of his lighter side but instead went ultra negative.

Again, the best man definitely won.

And... the worst woman got a new wardrobe.

John Stewart has a great way of cutting to the chase. This really takes the McCain campaign and condenses it down to what went right and what went sadly wrong. And still is shows that McCain had a good sense of humor throughout the process.

Classically funny.
