"I can't imagine Fiorello La Guardia being like, 'I gotta go check my Facebook page. Who's that son-of-bitch who poked me?'" Stewart said.
The video lasted for three segments, during which Stewart told Booker he would "break through your veneer of optimism."

"It's really a 'right-to-work-around-the-union-for-the-corporation,'" he said. "It's one of those things that are actually named for the opposite of the thing they do. Strip bars call themselves 'gentleman's clubs.' They're not. Or the TV network dedicated to making us stupider is called The Learning Channel."
And then he rapped, "8 Mile"-style.

"Simply put, I felt sorry for this man."

"On Thursday, this man, this grown man was pushed into the Congressional ladies washroom. Naked from the waist down," Obama said, adding: "You leave this poor orange man alone."

Chris Christie, R-N.J., clashed over Christie's ever-changing relationship with Obama.

The week before the Hurricane Sandy, Stewart said, Christie criticized Obama's leadership skills. “And then right after the storm was over, you were like, 'This man is a leader.'" said Stewart. "Doesn't that tell you something about the game?"

"What it tells me is that people have different skill sets at different times,” Christie replied, which made the audience laugh. Stewart shot back: “So he wasn’t a leader until you needed leadership.”

"Maybe until he was presented with a stark opportunity," said Christie.

But don't worry, your fall will be cushioned by lava."

Because, Jon said, despite what Fox News may say, "the rest of us can't swing a dead elf without knocking over an inflatable snow globe or a giant blinking candy cane. For God sakes, Fox News itself is located in midtown Manhattan, the epicenter of all that is godless, secular, gay, Jewy and hellbound, and yet even here, all around your studio, it looks like Santa's balls exploded."

Trying to understand the insensitive framing of the conflict, Stewart quipped, "So, the only two losers between the war in Israel and Gaza are the people who don't live in either of those places. So the lesson here is the next time your region descends into war, you gotta be in it to win it."

They are angry about everything. Like they won. They don't understand like when conservatives win, we go hunting. and drink beer. And know we're going to control at the same time, the country for four years. The liberals on the Twitter, on my machine, are so angry. And it doesn't bother me. I feel sorry for them.

When asked, "What did these people do before the Twitter?" Scarborough joked, "They kicked their dogs."
