Recently Jon Stewart and the Daily show have been moving to the right. This has made the show rather vanilla. It makes you long for the times of George W. Bush when Jon was an unabashed Liberal. That version of the Daily show pointed and relevant while the post Rally to Restore Sanity Daily Show is measured and tepid.
This unexplainable shift got me thinking to another John who suddenly moved right - John McCain. And then it dawned on me. Jon Stewart is planning a run for President as a Republican. It makes perfect sense given that the Tea Party has forced the Republicans so far right that the constraints of Democracy has them bordering on a becoming a Dictatorship movement. This leaves a huge void for right leaning independents, which Jon apparently plans to fill. All that is left is to secure the services of Joe Lieberman as VP and Jon can toss his hat into the ring.
