Jon Stewart Compares His Ceremonial First Pitch To Obama's

Last night on the Daily Show, Jon Stewart was perplexed by Fox Sports' camera angle for President Obama's ceremonial first pitch during the All Star Game—as well as Fox News personalities purposefully misinterpreting how it looked. So Stewart went to the vault for his ace: His October 2006 ceremonial pitch for the Mets.

Of course, there's nothing like Baba Booey's Mets pitch in May.

Eh...i chuckled.

Sometimes I wonder why the Daily Show exists anymore. It's reason d'etra is no longer president.

Just because the wingnuts no longer occupy the Whitehouse doesn't mean they aren't still alive and well, and deserving of ridicule.

Here's a pretty interesting example:

This is the agenda of the right wing christians. Sarah Palin is one of them, as are pretty much all of the evangelical wingers. They are batshit crazy, dishonest and dangerous, and seek to impose a christian theocracy on the world. They are Al Quaeda in suits with white skin.

And those on the left are angels that can do no wrong?

Obama threw that ball like a five year old schoolgirl regardless of the camera angle. As usual, the left-wing loonies are blaming their favorite boogeyman Fox News for everything.

The fact that either side is making a fuss over this is silly. I'm impressed that the throw was as good as it was considering I don't ever recall him talking about playing baseball...he's clearly a basketball man. The fact that he's allegedly a die hard White Sox fan lost its credibility when he pronounced "Comiskey Park" as "Cominskey."

The real issue here is the JC Penney mom-style jeans he was wearing. Michelle is always buying stuff from J. Crew for herself and the kids, why can't she pick up a pair of normal jeans for Barack?

What does this have to do with NYC? Because Stewart tapes here?

Well where's the Fox and Friends clip on Obama throwing out the first pitch then?

Maybe because a New York comedian was joking about how badly he threw a pitch in Shea Stadium in a NY Mets uniform?
