where more Americans get their news than probably should.






I can't really buy it.






I want to believe it; I do. With Jon and Stephen (born humble Steve, a fact exposed by the noble Bill O'Reilly) leading America, no doubt it would plunge into a series of glorious self-aware hipster Golden Years. Martin Sheen and that mean guy from Drop Dead Fred, move over: the Stewbert train is kicking your ass (ps. Martin I didn't mean that don't be mad you're still the best fake President ever I swear!!1!).

Oh, and what an imaginary President Jon would be. Jon's love of America is like an old fan of a once beloved tv show that's gone terribly stale; he sees what's gone wrong and he's smart enough to be very angry about it. And the boy is pissed; the best Stewartisms come from his appearences on actual news shows that are in the position and authority to educate but continue to mislead. He's angry as hell, and...well, it's awesome.

But my heart says that even this hypothetical lineup would never happen, because Stewart's name is bigger on the banner. No one can convince me that Colbert would roll over and take VP, espeically since I think that deep down, Jon's not Prez material. Colbert would be excellent as competition, if the silly Republican/Democrat niches were eliminated, just once. So yeah. I said it. Jon, even hypothetically, isn't the prez for me, as much as I want him to be.
...Carell might be perfect, though.
