Jon Stewart's Salute To South Carolina: Bestiality, Adultery, Racism, And Lindsey Graham (VIDEO)

It's been a rough couple of years for South Carolinians: Their governor disappeared for a week then admitted to an affair that he wouldn't shut up about, one of their senators quoted Steve Urkel while trying to make a serious political point, their representative to the Miss Teen USA contest gave the dumbest answer in pageant history, one of their GOP activist compared Michelle Obama to a gorilla, and now they've become the poster children for sex with horses.

Fortunately, they have Jon Stewart to show them the bright side of all of this insanity: They're making his job really easy. In a segment saluting the Southern state, Stewart thanked South Carolina for all the fodder it's provided of late, giving its people their rightful place at the comedy table.

OMG..I laughed so hard on this one.

[robjh1]

There must be a great deal of little minds who take John Stewart seriously.

" and we are not saved...."

[PortlandZoo]

you're not serious? Yes, plenty of big minds get laughs from Jon Stewart, the COMEDIAN. But you're partly right, it's only the little minds that take him seriously.

sheesh.

[robjh1]

I'm just not a big fan of comedy, especially comedy trying to disguise itself as being serious journalism.

[Nina28]

He's just your good ol' Christian raised Southern Boy who is for "Opposite Marriage" when he's not engaging in horse sex. Good ol' values there.

[Cowboylove]

At least he is a horse monogamist. I am sure he is a good Christian and still thinks gays should be put to death!

[PortlandZoo]

"horse monogamist" - LMAO

[JDinBalt]

Nice to see him place his South Carolina-bashing in the context of other bashable states, like Illinois, Florida or his own home state of New Jersey.

[pharmmajor]

Nice to see some people here aren't giving in to the ignorant, elitist bashing of the South.

[pixiepotpie]

Well now, if they would stop being ignorant elitists, there wouldn't be so much to bash, would there?

[Rmath]

I believe there are some intelligent people in the South. But why on earth are they so quiet??

[HidingintheDeepSouth]

Because this can happen when you aren't.
This is the home my Mom now lives in and she keeps her mouth SHUT.

Well except when she makes it to a larger town or is online. The internet gave those of us with a lot to lose a voice again.

I also write letters and make phone calls to my elected officials and try to speak to people who might be reasonable, but they are RARE.

[jemborg]

I subscribed, thanks for that. All the best.

[Tessa Cohen]

I live in SC and through up a little in my mouth everyday...

[dutch163]

there appears to be no shortage of stupid people ...in any state

[TOOO]

I have relatives who live in the South, and believe it or not, there are smart people who live down there. They actually have (gasp! shock! horror!) CITIES in the South.

On the other hoof (sorry), there are plenty of rednecks up here in Yankeeland. It's not so much North vs. South as it is Urban vs. Rural.

Won't surprise me to hear that guy is cheating on his horse.

[juanbobo]

If he does, that horse might get some super glue, and you know the rest

[pixiepotpie]

with a underaged stud. LOL.

[FantasticFourFan]

Is anyone else more shocked at the black senator proposing a confedrate memorial day then at a guy doing a horse?

[KillgoreTrout43]

I never understood black republicans. It's kind of like an Indian wearing a cowboy hat.

[pharmmajor]

I never understood democrats or republicans in general. They act like sheep.

[Promote]

HA,HA,HA,HA,HA . THATS FUNNY !!!!!!!!!
PEACE !

[carrynmatt]

I always look forward to the daily show n Jon. He makes bad news so much more palatable.

[mitch93]

Better look back at Sanfords travel records and see if he's to Kentucky recently.

[StChasDem]

I wish the whole of the South would leave the Union!! What do they contribute except crazy Republicans.

[juanbobo]

Answer: Brave Democrats

[Cromoly72]

...of which I am one. StChasDem, when you make such sweeping statements, you're no different than the close-minded people you're criticizing. Such views parallel the ignorance of racists, sexists, or any other uninformed, uneducated group holding unfounded prejudices.

[rainyday]

That's a baiting statement if I ever heard one! Ok, I'll play. A little intolerance, as voiced in your statement, goes a long way for some people. Sorry to break it to ya - political fanaticism on both sides exist in every state of the Union! For those of us that sit in the middle, all we want is a fair shake, but at least we are willing to fight for free speech, no matter if it is from "crazy republicans"! Seriously, to want to expel a whole section of the country simply because you perceive that's where all the evil republicans live is just ludicrous!

[tandrmcdonald]

How about peanut butter? It's a southern aphrodesiac. Mix equal parts lard, bourbon and peanut butter, spread on deep fried Snickers or Twinkies. Serve with sliced okra.

Isn't it mandatory for public officials in South Carolina to engage in bestality, then cheat on that animal and start seeing other soul-mates?
