Looking forward

Over at The Poor Man there's a call for Jon Stewart in 2012, based on many things including his latest interview:

STEWART: Yes. "How are you holding up?" is a real suck-up. And I actually giving him a hot stone massage as we were doing it.

CARLSON: It sounded that way. It did.

STEWART: You know, it's interesting to hear you talk about my responsibility.

CARLSON: I felt the sparks between you.

STEWART: I didn't realize that -- and maybe this explains quite a bit.

CARLSON: No, the opportunity to...

STEWART: ... is that the news organizations look to Comedy Central for their cues on integrity.

And despite not being an American, I think I know who his running mate should be:

My only suggestions are that, if you do, don’t mention soccer (football). Also, resist the urge to include gratuitous insults about American beer (dishwater). This is a common cultural misunderstanding. Foreigners often assume that when Americans say “football” (“American football”) they mean “soccer” (“football”), and, similarly, when they say “beer” (“diluted old lady pee”) they mean “beer” (“beer”). This is a cultural misunderstanding which arises because foreigners are stupid. The American term “beer” (“tincture of ass milk”) refers to a completely different beverage than what other people call “beer,” which Americans call “yuppie beer”. If one approaches American beer (essence of Dennis Rodman’s gym socks) on its own terms, without the expectation that it has some relation to beer beer, it really isn’t that bad. And Canadian beer (distilled ichors of moose nads) is worse.
