The Comic is Mightier than the Sword

Jon Stewart host of the Daily Show on Comedy Central.

It's been a couple of weeks since the tragedy that occurred in Arizona. How does one articulate the feelings and thoughts evoked by such violence? The words escape me. Jon Stewart is a very intelligent and articulate person, not to mention very funny. On his show he's funny, of course, but also very insightful, especially when interviewing his guests.

On the Monday after the shootings he began his show speaking eloquently about his thoughts and feelings regarding that terrible event. If only that level of intelligence and eloquence could be heard more often from our politicians. Thank God for comedians! Here's a link to that segment of his show.
