I'm sure some here will appreciate this (but not Bernie supporters).

Definitely too many cheap shots there, in my opinion.
I also saw Samantha Bee also be fairly dismissive to Bernie on her show Monday night.

(50,254 posts)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.

(11,360 posts)Apart from that, his talking points (and that's all they are) are suspiciously identical to what we hear from the Hillary campaign.

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).

(38,613 posts)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.

"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.
