Stewart's and Colbert's One-Two Punches

Comedy Central's coverage of the Rethuglican convention is the best antidote to the fawning, predictable nonsense peddled by Beltway political press corps. Last night was no exception.

First, Jon Stewart clobbers a main theme of the Rethuglican convention that's built on a clear falsehood: that President Obama doesn't believe small business people "built" their businesses.

Next, Steven Colbert lands an uppercut with a nice dissection of the nutty Ayn Rand philosophy that VP nominee Paul "Brown Nose" Ryan adheres to.
