Jon Stewart Mocks GOP, Tea Party Rebuttals To State Of The Union Address (VIDEO)

It was truly a night of rebuttals Wednesday night on "The Daily Show," with Jon Stewart providing his comedic rebuttal of the President's State of the Union address as well as mocking the rebuttals presented by Reps. Paul Ryan and Michele Bachmann. Even John Oliver provided his own rebuttal to Jon Stewart's rebuttal to Obama's address. Yeah, it was a big episode.

Stewart's best material undoubtedly came from Rep. Ryan's message on behalf of Republicans and the Tea Party's rebuttal presented by Rep. Bachmann. While Stewart expected Ryan to sell a message of limited government to a prime time audience, he actually sounded quite liberal, saying government should "protect our borders" "protect innocent life" and "provide a saftey net," among other things.

"I guess you are a different kind of Republican," Stewart said. "The kind that's trying to sound like you're not a Republican."

Of course, it was Bachmann who spoke for "the real America" in her rebuttal, but Stewart could only focus on one thing: her inability to look into the camera.

"What is she looking at? Is she being coached?

Watch the full clip below to see what Stewart learns about Bachmann's camera gaffe, and below that catch Stewart's official response to the President's State of the Union address.

Bachmann's eyes look ghoulish - WAY too dark.

Wasted opportunity, picking on silly things. So she is not looking into the camera. Big deal..
Why not focus on the stupidity of her remarks.

Stewart made a very astute observation when he commented that South Korea had a foreign military supporting them so that they could concentrate their spending on their economy . How many countries around the world does America protect with our military thereby affording them the luxury of not having to spend on their military ?

The US spends more on the military than the next ten countries combined.

I think you missed his point, my friend. We have truly become the "world's moral security agency". It has become an unspoken expectation that, no matter where murderous incivility or human rights violations wantonly occur, the U.S. will be there--"johnny-on-the-spot" to glue the broken parts back together. That takes time and money in such large quantities, that our homeland and treasury suffers unremittingly.

Ms Bachmann introduced herself as "My name is Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann" did she officially change her first name to Congresswoman?

you know what ticks me off is ex-politicians who retain their tittles for ever . She will be called congresswoman Bachman long after she is not congresswoman Bachman

She's afraid that looking into the camera will result in millions of Americans turning into stone.

Oh Jon, I'm just waiting for SNL to do its thing on Michele Bachmann's SOTU response this week-end. They will definitely capture that GLAZED-EYE-LOOK, that looked into what looked like a LAND OF FAR AWAY PLACES ! .... And the make-up, Lord was that OVER DONE !

Anyway, I know SNL will have us all in stitches if they decide to do it !

Carter tried that approach with a fire side chat and was decimated for it.

I REALLY want to hear that. I bet the problem was it was Carter doing it.

i bet that camera crew did that to her on purpose......i know i would have. something very subtle and totally offputting.

Michele Bachmann; a good example of why candidates should be subjected to a battery of psychological tests and evals.

[sean0008]

In addition to psychological tests, I'd like to see Bachman and her ilk take some basic high school level exams on history, science, and civics.

Stewart vs Bachmann is analogous to Mohammed Ali in his prime taking on my six year old nephew.
