Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert Break Down Iowa
On last night’s Daily Show, Jon Stewart ran down the results of the Ames Straw Poll where, with Rep. Michele Bachmann’s victory, “the crazy eyes [had] it.” Meanwhile, Tim Pawlenty puts the host to sleep with the announcement that he’s leaving the presidential race.
Stephen Colbert focused on the weekend’s big loser, Tim Pawlenty. “I was especially sad to see TPaw go out this way,” he said, “considering the epic epicness of his first commercial” So, to honor the Pawlenty campaign that could have been, Colbert made his own sendoff for the former Minnesota governor.
