Just like in Shakespeare, the Fool is the only one who speaks the truth. |
|
And I don't mean "Fool" in an insulting way, but rather the one character in the plays who is the insufferable smart-ass yet is always speaking the truth...the jester.
We're living Shakespeare right now. The Fool is Jon Stewart. How sad that he's our only source of truth anymore.

TOUCHSTONE: When a man's verses cannot be understood, nor a man's good wit seconded with the forward child Understanding, it strikes a man more dead than a great reckoning in a little room.

2. Jon is the only one telling the truth |
|
and in times like these, who else could do that but a Fool, a comedian? It's funny because it is true. I am sure as the years go by, Mr. Stewart will be revered more and more as one of the great champions of common sense in an age of amazing stupidity.

3. I really wish he'd write more. |
|
And I don't mean like America the Book, I mean like about his thoughts. I think he's an incredibly intelligent man.

How ironic and sad that the self-described fake news show is the only one that consistently reports the truth.
