[lbo-talk] Jon Stewart as the court jester

[ira glazer]

Excellent analysis of Jon Stewart by the user called 'silence' at 
dailykos.com:

Its not unlike dealing with a monarchy where the court jester is the 
only one who is allowed to tell the truth, because everybody knows that 
he is "only joking," and will never hold actual power.
