15. I can - easily. When he's not playing comedian its actually quite conservative
Just listen to him when he is talking off the cuff during any interview. The man give no indication he is a friend of progressive causes or progressives running for office or even slightly sympathetic to their causes.

8. I'd call him an international figure in the same way Aussie Rules is an international game...
Folk like him aren't well known here at all. See, we have our own political comedian types who do a far better job and address issues which are relevent in our country. I'm not having a dig at Stewart, btw, it's just that unless he's wildly popular in Europe or the Middle East, he's not a household name and non-Americans wouldn't be expected to be very familiar with him at all...

The past week has seen so much spin.

Edit to add: The tax cut to the wealthy is regressive and absurd.
