The best part was the apology he made for getting his face in front of Cheney’s shotgun blast.

Haha and he did it on TV too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILqnYx7XnwQ&ab_channel=PublicApologyCentral

I'm sorry your birdshot got in front of my face!

Jon Stewart and the Daily Show ripped them a new one in an amazing segment called "Dead-Eye Dick."

I miss him.

“Jon we didn’t bother writing any jokes tonight because the Vice President of the United States shot his friend in the face because he thought he was a bird.”

I remember where I was the day this happened. I was saying for the rest of the day that I couldn't wait for tonight's Daily Show/Colbert. Can't recall if it was that night or another where they discussed the details of the staged hunt. "Yes, Jon but traveling with all the security, doctors, cardiologist, that black ball Darth Vader sleeps in..."

His AppleTV show, The Problem With Jon Stewart is pretty good. Makes them less often, but digs much deeper into a single subject.

I find it to be grating. He seems frustrated that we haven't solved all of our problems despite the fact that that he's satirized them so skillfully. He comes across as an aging crank who is more than a little bitter.

Have you seen his fight for veterans' and 911 first responders' healthcare? With the way the government has chewed him up and spit him(and all veterans) out, I'd be bitter too.

That's fair enough. Maybe he needs a break. Maybe he needs to visit the things that are getting better. It's easy to allow oneself to be overwhelmed by all the negative.

Don't expect me to apologize for getting in the way of your gun.

I'd be acting like Ron Swanson did when Tom shot him in the head with the buckshot on the hunting trip the Parks crew all did.

I'm sure he was "spoken to" before he made that embarrassing apology. Cheney is some piece of work
