Snarky Jon Stewart Compares Obama/Clinton to Dimaggio/Williams


"The thing that people I guess shouldn't lose focus of is either way this is an historic race. You have done better than any woman in the history of this country running for the highest office of this land. Barack Obama has done the same for African-Americans. It's almost whoever wins or loses, it's almost like in 1941, this is a stupid analogy so bear with me. In 1941 Ted Williams hit .400. Nobody has done that since in baseball but that year he didn't win the Most Valuable Player because Joe DiMaggio had a 56-game hitting streak. I feel like we as Americans are watching two historical figures battle it out. I don't know if people will be able to appreciate that because it's unfortunately one of you guys is going to have to yield to the other."

For video, see around the 2:10 mark...

Jon Stewart: Snarky Soccer Player

Jon Stewart wasn't always a snarky fake news anchor. He was once a snarky soccer player. And 'round these parts we also remember him as a snarky bar keep at the Franklin Tavern's Bottom Half and the former Casa Lupita. And now he's all grows up and hosting the Oscars.

the chief points out that we at HHR like to think he didn't play for the love of competition or even the affections of saucy coeds, but rather the all-you-can-eat orange slices during games. Remember those things? Goddamn those were delicious.

Goooooooallllll!

Thanks to phillyBurbs' Illuminati for the find.
