Will Jon Stewart be laid off?

Anyone who watched the Jon Stewart Show last night, January 20, 2009, would realize the show has lost it’s raison d’etre. With George Bush gone, Stewart’s fizz had fizzled. The jokes were lame, including a bad reaching-for-nothing wheelchair joke about Dick Chaney. All the ex-presidents and Stewart look old and tired too. Stewart’s Washington reporter told Stewart he was uncool. Unless Barack Obama falls flat on his face, Stewart will be doing jokes at retirement homes in Miami. Come to PEI Stewart, here we have corruption and scandal: politicians, media, business. The audience is small but the stories are big.
