Obama should give Jon Stewart the Presidential Medal of Freedom

[Renew Deal]

And he should announce it on his appearance on Wednesday.

The criteria according to Wikipedia is: "The Presidential Medal of Freedom is an award bestowed by the President of the United States and is—along with the comparable Congressional Gold Medal, bestowed by an act of U.S. Congress—the highest civilian award of the United States. It recognizes those individuals who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors""

1. If Reagan can give it to that segregationist william f buckley

Obama can give it to stewart.

Also, the Kennedy Center needs to give Letterman the Mark Twain Prize. Hard to believe they gave it to Leno, and not Dave or Carson.

3. Yeah, what the hell was that about with Leno? n/t

2. I'm all for it!

Despite Stewart's self-deprecating description of TDS as a "fake" news show, I'd be surprised if most of his viewers didn't learn quite a bit about political events in the viewing.
