\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: This is interesting. Tuesday afternoon on CNN International\u2019s show called Amanpour — that\u2019s the last name of Christiane, who\u2019s just lost her staff, by the way. She\u2019s still the mysterious CNN trench coat foreign correspondent. She has a program on CNN International. They interviewed Jon Stewart of The Daily Show. But he didn\u2019t have his 30 writers with him, therefore he was pretty much word naked. A guy that has 30 writers write what he says every day, you don\u2019t have them with you, and it can be panic city.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s interesting because it shows how different people are on television when their writers aren\u2019t around, their teleprompter\u2019s not around. First thing, here is the exchange that ended up with Stewart having to apologize for a supposed joke about not voting. And all of this happened when he didn\u2019t have a script. Here\u2019s the first of two bites.<\/p>\n

AMANPOUR: Did you vote?<\/p>\n

STEWART: No.<\/p>\n

AMANPOUR: No?<\/p>\n

STEWART: No. I just moved. I don\u2019t even know where my thing is now.<\/p>\n

AMANPOUR: What do you mean?<\/p>\n

STEWART: I moved to a different state.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s Election Day. This is Jon Stewart who, in the eyes of the media, is Walter Cronkite for the under-15 crowd. Well, the Walter Cronkite for the under-30 crowd. This guy is their hero. I mean, this guy is their guiding light. Jon Stewart, why, he is it. He\u2019s got all the answers. Jon Stewart tells you what to think. Jon Stewart\u2019s cool and hip, and here he is admitting on CNN International all over the world, he didn\u2019t vote on Election Day. He doesn\u2019t even know where his thing is, \u2019cause he just moved.<\/line><\/p>\n

Democrats were upset about this. Democrats were demonstrably upset. What do you mean, didn\u2019t vote? You\u2019re Jon Stewart. You\u2019re the guy that fills the low-information voters\u2019 heads full of junk. You\u2019re the guy we depend on to misdirect the low-information voters, and when you\u2019re telling them you didn\u2019t vote, it\u2019s gonna look cool not to vote. We\u2019re Democrats. We can\u2019t have people thinking it\u2019s cool not to vote. So this required an apology \u2019cause the Democrats were very upset about this.<\/p>\n

STEWART: I did vote today. I did know where my booth was. I was being flip, and it kind of took off, and, you know what, I want to apologize, because I shouldn\u2019t have been flip about that because I think I wasn\u2019t clear enough that I was kidding and it sent a message that I didn\u2019t think voting was important or that I didn\u2019t think it was a big issue. And I do, and I did vote, and I was being flip, and I shouldn\u2019t have done that. That was stupid. So I apologize, and — yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That was later Tuesday on his own show on the Comedy Central network, The Daily Show. He did vote. But he said up there, “No, I just moved. I don\u2019t even know where my thing is now. I just moved to a different state.” Yeah, I did, I voted. An enterprising journalist can find out. They can\u2019t find out how you voted, but they can find out if you did. Yeah, that\u2019s not hard to do. Did you know that, Dawn? People can find out if you vote or not? It\u2019s easy, anybody can. You don\u2019t need to be an enterprising journalist or journalista.<\/p>\n

But this is what happens when you don\u2019t have your writers with you. This is what happens when you have 30 people that tell you what to say and they\u2019re not with you when you go on Christiane Amanpour\u2019s show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
