@Juliebird A King and his foole are soon parted
I was thinking back to feudal times when the King had his fool by his side. Only the fool could tell the truth, if he made it funny.
I think Jon Stewart is resisting that role. Good for him. My somewhat cynical view of human nature informs me that not much has changed in a few thousand years with respect to the soul of mankind. We got lucky and the framers were able to pass on some good habits.
