Jon Stewart and Senior Peacetime Correspondent John Oliver look at the absurdity of the coverage of Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize win, and can only blame it on the politics of the "liberal elite" in charge of the award.
OLIVER: No doubt the Nobel Committee is suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome, using this award as a personal bitch slap after the Commander in Chief. They've done it before. Remember Mother Teresa? Yowza!
STEWART: Mother Teresa's Peace Prize, that was controversial?
OLIVER: It was a slap in the face to Mother Sophia. She worked her whole life with tuberculosis sufferers in Bombay. But you know the liberal elites. If it ain't leprosy, they ain't interested. But Mother Teresa, she milked those lepers for all they were worth. And the media just lapped it up.
STEWART: Alright John...that's just....please, let's just move on and...
OLIVER: Mother Teresa....F@#K her!

TDS.
Thanks, for deflating this bogus issue.
My opinion: John and the Daily Show are consistently better that Colbert, not a whole lot, but they are always on.
Without question, John Oliver is my fave now. The dude is just hifrigginglarious!
:)
Great!!!

Agreed. If you want to bust a gut, pair him with Larry Wilmore.
yeah...that's real comedy there....knocking Mother Teresa.
Fine job of hoisting Hannity by his own stanky petard. "The Nobel Peace Prize is a terrorist-tainted piece of shit, so I'd give it to the troops!"
revulver @ 6:
Actually... there are some serious charges that Mother Theresa wasn't as "saintly" as she is portrayed in the media. She fostered the suffering of her charges in order to "bring them closer to God" and should rightly be condemed.
"Why would Hannity want to give a terrorist-tainted piece of shit to the US military?"
Awesome.
Someone needs to tell the right wingers that it isn't about them. It's about Al Gore's accomplishments.
The Nobel prize is neither theirs to give or take away. These complainers just seem whiny. Not that that is new, but sets a new low standard.
Hannity... "If I won..." I wouldn't hold my breath. What are the chances?
revulver @ 6:
Think it could it be... satire?
CG @ 9:
He's fickle?
Edwin @ 11:
He could win the Nobel Piece of Shit Prize.
Seriously... fuck her!
Knocking Mother Teresa should happen more often. Her cult of suffering was disturbing.
CG @ 9:
I can't believe the stuff they come up with. GREAT!!! SUCH INSIGHT! NO ONE SAYS IT BETTER THAN STEWART! I HOPE HE HAS AL GORE ON HIS SHOW SOON!
Rusty Shackleford @ 14:
Nobel Piece of Shit Prize is too good for him!
Oliver should get the 10:30 slot
had the pleasure of meeting oliver and seeing him work live last week. funny, smart guy. his star will keep rising.
Hannity could win the prize for "best animated cartoon character".

There's no comparison. TDS is far more entertaining than Colbert. Colbert's brand of humor just isn't funny; never has been, never will be!
It used to be the way to get a Republic to twitch wildly, like
a Pavlovian dog hearing a 100 DB bell, was to say "Hillary"...
But, even more so these days, they way to get them to empty
their bowels into their pants, turn all red and huffy, and get half
way to a coronary is to say:
Al Gore!
It just drives em even more bat-sh*t nutty then they already are?
Try it some time, their little faces get all scrunched up, they have trouble finishing a sentence, spittle flies out of their mouths...
You know, they look a lot like Michelle Malkin does all the time!
Who can compete with John Oliver? No one can!
Boy, those folks on Fox News are absolutely shameless. Makes me sick that there are so many brainwashed Americans who still watch it. sick sick sick.
Is Tweety growing his mullet out?
I think the funniest thing about The Daily Show are its minions of gullible losers and college age stoners. I realize that's redundant with LIBERAL, but not too often does a stereotype fit so well.
Did anyone else notice the background to John Oliver's report from "Oslo" was actually Prague? Looks like its time to fire an intern.
Al Gore needs to get together with Andrew Lloyd Webber and complete the Trifecta by making 'An Inconvenient Truth - The Musical.'
Watching neo-cons spontaneously combust after he wins a Tony would be more fun than I should be allowed.
"My mind is clearer now. At last, all to well, I can see, what CO2 does to me."
Yeah, I'd pay to see that.
John @ 27:
I think the funniest thing about it are the mock news reports.
Re:
That crazy old bitchMother Theresa, let it be remembered that in her Nobel acceptance speech, she made the incisive remark that of all the threats to peace in the world, the greatest was--wait for it--abortion.Her exact words: "Because if a mother can kill her own child--what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me--there is nothing between."
I feel fairly confident that Al will put the prestige brought by the prize to more constructive use.
John @ 27:
You are dreaming if you think the Daily Show's audience are gullible losers etc. Most of the thinking liberal Democrats I know are nightly viewers or "Tivoers".
The "minions" in my age group are senior citizens. Actually the demographic of Jon Stewart's show is the Americans who have the highest educations and earn the most money. Check it out!
