That show was lame way before Stewart left. It was fun during the Bush years, but then I lost interest.

e: That being said, Samantha Bee has a new show, haven't checked it out yet

He just said someone from the crowd called the senator from texas a pussy. He then went on to say that he does not approve of such a statement. Like what McCain did with that old lady.

Trump was probably happy since he got a bunch of press from it. Honestly an entertainer getting roasted is just how it goes.

The hatred he has for Jeb! though...

Doesn't it apply when the Republican frontrunner has a vicious anger toward Jeb and the Bushes, is THE rival commercial builder to the insurance collector on the towers, and says such things?

Trump said on CNN’s New Day that he wouldn’t be apologizing for blaming George W. Bush for the 9/11 attacks, saying he had “advanced notice” that it was coming.

“Look, his brother gets hit on, he’s a loyal person, he’s loyal to his brother,” Trump said of fellow GOP contender Jeb Bush. “But his brother made some mistakes.”
“His brother could have made a mistake with the actual hit,” he continued. “They did know it was coming. George Tenet, the head of the CIA, told them it was coming. So they did have advanced notice.”
