My favorite line - "I'm a fake journalist, and I'm embarrassed!"
Kudos to Jon Stewart, who doesn’t sugar-coat the embarrassment at all — to the apparent delight of his audience, who get kudos of their own. How can the national news media ignore the many allegations of corruption at ACORN, which gets millions of dollars in federal funding, and allow a couple of independents with $3,000 and a bad wardrobe scoop them on the undercover story of the year?

When I caught this on O'Reilly last night, I about fell on the floor. Jon Stewart? But he gave the drive-by media a real smack down! I'm renewing faith on a few people.
