The unique misfortune of the Palestinian refugees is that they are a weapon in what seems to be a permanent war...today, in the Middle East, you get a repeated sinking sensation about the Palestinian refugees: they are only a beginning, not an end. Their function is to hang around and be constantly useful as a goad. The ultimate aim is not such humane small potatoes as repatriating refugees.

Why do people still compare him to Stewart?  Sure, Colbert was a spin off from his show, but the style is completely different.  Colbert's is deadpan satire, and Stewart's is arm-flailing and face-pulling, and not even satirical in the slightest.  He relies on his 'correspondents' for that.

Agreed on that.  I find Stewart to be a bore.

Jon Stewart's style of comedy is very intellectually-based. It's "Smart Comedy" so it's gonna make you think before you laugh. Stephen Colbert is a punchline comedian, so he can make more people laugh...without thinking.

Stewart isn't actually smart enough about politics for his "intellectually-based" humor to work though, IMHO.  It's "smart" humor for college-age kids whose only exposure to the news is via Stewart's show.

It is hilarious that everyone thinks that because I had 3 hot dogs last night that I threw everything I was told earlier in the day out the window for good.  That is absolutely hilarious.  We've got a lot of comedians here. Smiley

Yeah. Stewart tries to play moderate hero a bit too often, and it comes off as awkward.
