i’m a palin fan, but if she’s going to put herself out there she’ll have to take the barbs from the comics(her family excluded)it’s a given that comedians would pick up on something like this.what’s pathetic is that “real journalist” would be petty enough to make it an issue,and robert gibbs he’s the epitomy of pettiness.it’s a non-issue while it may amuse the left,it makes her more appealing to us regular folks.as for sarah,i think the”hi mom” shows she can play with all of them

So sorry Jon, but if this joke reappeared in the wild, nine times out of ten it would be “… shoplift Jack Daniels.”

Fayebeck…You have got to be kidding me…Where would the left get their news if not from Stewart, Letterman, Colbert and MSNBC (Miserable, Sadistic, Nasty, Beeitching Crybabies).

Stewart’s a hemorrhoid. He’s only funny to students and others who don’t work for a living.

Go Sarah! You have the wild-eyed Liberals sitting in their wet diapers, screeching like little piggies. Keep up the good work, girl! We are behind ya, 100%!

Oh, and Stewart SUCKS!

You just sometimes ask yourself how does no talent such as Stewart, Colbert, Letterman get to where they are? The three have never said anything funny in their sorry lives.

Cripes, why are you wasting my time with this? When did we ask for entertainment police?

I prefer my presidents to have at least some little bit of understanding of history, geography, law, economics, foreign relations… Is it very much to hope the Republicans will nominate such a person?

How did this one even graduate high school?

Stewarts the BIGGEST idiot on TV, well maybe after the anchors on MCNBC, etc.

This is pretty common in the stand-up comedy industry. It is so easy for like-minded comics to come with similar, if not identical, material. There’s a certain cadence and rhythm to these jokes that it becomes a no-brainer to connect “lifting” and “American spirits” to stealing cigarettes.

What happened? None of Stewart’s fifteen writers he has on staff double-checked this one?

To be fair, I heard that joke and its related varieties by a lot of people over the past couple of days. Giving some lone twitterer the credit of an obvious gag seems pretty silly. We all know you want to put down Stewart, Tucker, but I think you can find better ways.

I like the message more than the messenger.

Jon Stewart needs to take a few more hits of acid and sit out the rest of his life..what a pointless liberal scrung.

Ha! Rather ironic that in order to be able to lampoon Palin for relying upon a crib note, Stewart was required to read off of a teleprompter programmed by his paid staff with a joke cribbed from somebody else. Hey, at least Palin doesn’t have to plagiarize her own hand-written cues.

Sadly, that’s true. I like her as a person, but don’t want her as my representative.
