Watch: Jon Stewart slams Rush Limbaugh


by Sunny Hundal    

Jon Stewart never disappoints.

Last night he covered the controversy around Rush Limbaugh in the US.

Well, I say ‘covered’ but he smacked down Rush Limbaugh so hard it must’ve made Limbaugh cry for his mama.

If you already know the controversy, skip 2min.

Limbaugh, whose show has now lost around 20 advertisers over his comments – which he made over three days – said more than what Stewart showed in that clip.

I’ve done the prosaic thing here:

And two radio stations have pulled the Limbaugh show. Bad news for Rushie, but it’s not as if it was a one-off slip. What may surprise many in the UK is that a lot of right-wingers have supported him.
