Dear Jon!
Forgive me! I didn't come up to the studio yesterday. It was raining and then I had a female friend over.
1. Chris Murphy? You spent the first half of the show complaining extra humorously about how lame ass the Democrats are. And in the second half, you interviewed a lame ass Democrat.
2. You made fun of the Democratic women. While I agree their party's antics are not working, I thought the Congresswomen's superheroes video was cute. At least it's in the right artistic direction. Warrior girls.
That's what this country needs. A woman's rebellion.
3. Why don't you do a mobile show in front of Schumer's office? Take the attack to him.
4. "Chuck E got some Cheese". Brilliant line.
5. The. Democrats. Are dead. "The Democrats. Are dead." JUST SAY THAT!
6. You are beating a dead donkey.
7. I want to see you wear a blue Democratic party baseball cap. On the air. And then you turn to the right camera, and you take off the blue cap, and from under the desk you take out a rainbow one. Which says "independent" (little i).
"independent" No party. Just you. Your name. NO TEAM.
Can you handle it Jon? No team. Daily Show team good. Political teams bad. Even yours.
*****
The gym bit and going back to 2012 and getting the demquotes was great. The montages of past statements of hypocrisy and stupidity is the very best thing you do. That's the country saving investigative journalism the Daily Show patented.
8. When you tapped on the desk with your pen? That was good. Do that more. Gets audience attention sharply at important moments.
9. I wish you wouldn't have made fun of Sara Jacobs. CongressWomen even the bad ones are better than CongressMen. Support the women. Pole-axe the men.
10. "Comedy is legal again right?" Yup. Go get'em.
11. Desi, help me. I am not a woman but I played one in third grade. I want women elected en mass. I will help it happen.
12. Grace, help me. I'll get you crates of weapons and you and friends can defend Planned Parenthood.
13. Ladies, of the Daily Show! All men but me suck. I want them to shut up. Even your boss. Those segments making fun of the girls in Congress made me upset.

P.S. I am not Matt Gaetz and I am single.
P.P.S. The longer I method act a super feminist, the more I agree. I hate men. You deserve the whole power pie. May I have a bite? (Speaker of the House) You get the Presidency and a supermajority in Congress.
Coming in 2029!
