Bumping this since I am sitting in line in Tampa for tickets to the show today. Supposedly there is a mystery guest on the show tonight, my wife thinks its Clint Eastwood's chair.

It would be super smart of Romney and/or Ryan to go on tonight. Stewart is known for being a fair interviewer while asking pertinent questions. Plus he rarely presses a guess who chooses not to answer a question. He just jokes and moves on. This would be a good way for them to appeal to the youths, too.

Whew. Hate to think of you being in line for 11 hours in Tampa. Well, I hope it's someone big. You'd think it would have to be someone relevant to the RNC.

Mitt's already in Louisiana. And I think Ryan left earlier today for Virginia.
UPDATE - Ryan's in Richmond, VA right now.

I dumped this show back in 2002 or so once it became 90% politics. It was once a mis-mash of different things, but it's far too political for my tastes. Oh well.

I think it skewers the media much more than politics - it's just that the media it makes fun of happens to be about politics.

I loved John's line about how Clint Eastwoods Chair explains everything, that republicans have been seeing an invincible Barack Obama that only they can see for the past 4 years.

Egypt Issues Arrest Warrant For Jon Stewart
The Egyptian government has issued an arrest warrant for American comedian Jon Stewart, accusing him of blasphemy and fomenting "anti-Egyptian" sentiment.
The charges come just two days after Stewart used The Daily Show to blast Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi over his harassment of Bassem Youssef, an Egyptian satirist critical of his government.
Youssef is the host of the wildly popular El Bernameg (The Program), a satirical news program inspired by Stewart's The Daily Show. He has been questioned by police in recent days, and the government has threatened to revoke the licence of the television station at which he works.
According to a statement issued by Minister of Justice Ahmed Mekki, Stewart will also be charged with "contributing to the delinquency of an Egyptian" for his role in inspiring Youssef to challenge the Islamist regime.
Mekki claims that since clips form The Daily Show are rebroadcast in Egypt on CNN's international channel, Stewart is open to prosecution under Egyptian law.
