Anyone who’s seen FOX’s Glenn Beck knows that he is often confused, but even this rant over health care threw us for a loop. We Americans living in Europe (under mandatory state-run health care) find statements like, “America already has the best health care in the world…” pretty amusing (especially those of us who weren’t insured in the States because we couldn’t afford it).

But wasn’t there a time when Glenn himself detested the U.S. health care system?

In a recent interview Jon Stewart cleared up the recent wishful-thinking that he’s pursuing a run for president in the 2008 elections, having sidekick Stephen Colbert as his running mate. With fans starting Stewart/Colbert 2008 websites, campaigns and of course, merchandise, Stewart’s only response was to comment on how sad people are with the current affairs of the country under George W Bush. Though a Stewart/Colbert ticket would probably be one of the best things to happen to American politics in decades, it’s sadly not gonna happen, but at least you can have a few cool t-shirts letting the world know that you’re behind them 100%.

On a recent Daily Show, Jon Stewart asks some really hard questions, such as, what exactly is the president’s job? Curiously, it doesn’t seem that anyone really knows what it is, other than a few vague comments and lots of fund-raising, but, we’re told it’s not our business to really even care. But is that enough for Jon Stewart, noooo, of course not, it’s never enough.

Watch a clip from a recent Daily Show and wonder along with Jon after the jump..

We resisted as long as we could, but sweet Mary Lou what is going on with US politics these days? How out of touch can these politicians be yet still demand respect and credibility from their constituents??? Bah! So, back to the story. Anyone using the inter-tubes should know the backstory to this, easily persuadable (by lobbyists of course not by his constituents) Republican Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Stevens explains to a room full of other easily persuaded senators that the internet is basically a series of tubes that gets clogged, thus net-neutrality should not be an option. He then gets completely torn apart about it, and rightly so, by the Daily Show in the sort of fashion that we all know and love. Well, word finally reached Senator Stevens (I guess his inter-tube is clogged because of all these top-tier services clogging them) and he’s now willing to go on the Daily Show to defend his statements, by telling reporters, AND I QUOTE:

“I have a letter from a big scientist who said I was absolutely right in using the word ‘tubes’”

Speechless. So yeah, watch the Daily Show video after the jump (as if you haven’t seen it already!)..
