but is it fair to equate Stewart not liking being asked about that to Stewart somehow defending Louis CK? It could equally be that he just doesn't want to go there yet.

Apart from that, his talking points (and that's all they are) are suspiciously identical to what we hear from the Hillary campaign.

But they seemed to be doing everything in the same way.

Soon as he started doing literal stand up at the start, most of it descended into jokes about clothes and looks, and it has maintained a much more trivial focus than under Stewart (as imperfect as he was).

Her jokes about Bernie were all about how he's old, Jewish, and cluelessly bumbling. Her Hillary jokes were all about how much ass she can kick.

It's a shame, I liked Samantha.

Supposedly Jon Stewart chose him, or had a say in it, but who knows.

"Some economists support bernie" implying it is very few or they are not very good.

Here are 170 and their credentials
https://berniesanders.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Wall-St-Letter-1.pdf


"Bernie supported the F-35"
He supported building it in his state. The F-35 was getting built regardless of his opinion. He wanted it built somewhere where there are strong workers' rights. Sanders never said we should not have military jets anyway. He is not a pacifist.

The dishonest swarm will continue to push this as part of the "Sanders is a hawk too" bullshit.

the bit about Bernie supporters is not worth trying to rebut.
