Stewart rules the airwaves

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is essential viewing this week as we head to war with Iraq. The show has really improved in the last few weeks as Stewart has become more and more political in his always hilarious satire of the day's news. The war "coverage" is great comedy but also it's quite informative, as Stewart and the correspondents present valid arguments that you'd never hear in mainstream news outlets. This is the only show on TV that calls out elected officials on their hypocritical statements whether they're Republican or Democrat. The Daily Show has also benefitted by switching from celebrity guests to more "news-based" guests like Senators and political authors. Beleive it or not, the smartest show on TV these days is on Comedy Central.
