The cable nets are wall to wall with live shots outside Spitz’s apartment building, waiting for him to take the walk of shame, so this’ll have to do until America gets back to business. The first half’s a waste but stick with it, partly because things pick up once the man-on-the-street segments start and partly because it’s not often you find TDS on the “conservative” side. Look for the biographical detail on correspondent Rob Riggle; that may explain why.

Daley’s an asswipe, but that report(er) was hilarious.
Jaibones on March 12, 2008 at 11:07 AM
He’s a Marine. Sweet.
KelliD on March 12, 2008 at 11:08 AM
Wow. Just—wow.
They truly do not understand how stupid they are.
Meryl Yourish on March 12, 2008 at 11:09 AM
Comedy gold.
Bill C on March 12, 2008 at 11:09 AM
ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH HIPPIES! BOARDS! *Blam*
Loved it!
Sekhmet on March 12, 2008 at 11:10 AM
From his wiki.
Bill C on March 12, 2008 at 11:11 AM
The police must pull out of all U.S. cities NOW! That’s the only way we’ll have peace. Hug for peace! No more police!
bigred on March 12, 2008 at 11:11 AM
Wow, I might be forced to watch TDS here and there again if they actually start covering both sides like this.
Benaiah on March 12, 2008 at 11:11 AM
I guess that is the best we can expect from
Jon StewartJonathan Stuart Leibowitz.RobCon on March 12, 2008 at 11:12 AM
And all he had to do was let them speak.
Esthier on March 12, 2008 at 11:12 AM
As the Daily Show goes. So goes the nation.
ronsfi on March 12, 2008 at 11:12 AM
Nothing more sexy than a Marine doing chin ups!
Now that’s HOT.
sheesh on March 12, 2008 at 11:12 AM
That is some funny stuff. Too bad such a large portion of the country is made up of people like these barking moonbats. Peace, love and earth shoes man.
PatriotPete on March 12, 2008 at 11:12 AM
Awesome.
ScoopPC11 on March 12, 2008 at 11:13 AM
This is your brain on drugs.
Buford on March 12, 2008 at 11:13 AM
Awesome. Semper Fi!
saltydogg14 on March 12, 2008 at 11:14 AM
Very funny. About the only funny thing I have seen from the Daily Show. And Code Pink is cringingly lame. I was almost embarrassed for them with that “hug thing.” Almost…….
Mallard T. Drake on March 12, 2008 at 11:15 AM
Damn, I may start watching TDS.
Still won’t go near the Colbert Report, though.
ticticboom on March 12, 2008 at 11:15 AM
How can America survive so much stooopid.
ronsfi on March 12, 2008 at 11:15 AM
I know! I reminded me of some kind of special needs event.
ronsfi on March 12, 2008 at 11:16 AM
LOL, the crack about getting rid of cops to stop crime was classic.
Now, the complete ignorance of the statement about the Marine’s rights made me laugh…in a sad, now-I-realize-what-LSD-can-do-to-the-human-brain sort of way.
Bishop on March 12, 2008 at 11:18 AM
That was frigging great!
Wyrd on March 12, 2008 at 11:20 AM
I wonder how many of TDS’s BDSers screamed “I’m never watching this show again !!!!” after this.
eeyore on March 12, 2008 at 11:21 AM
Great stuff!
I think the tide is turning. TDS has run out of teenagers staying up late.
PattyJ on March 12, 2008 at 11:22 AM
When this original story broke out I suggested a cage match Code-Stinko vs. the Marines
RINO_Hunter on March 12, 2008 at 11:24 AM
I fail to see the humor in those fools….and this Country has millions of tools just like them, and they are allowed to vote.
David in ATL on March 12, 2008 at 11:24 AM
OK Jon, you fullfilled your pro-military quota. Go back to being a giggling, smary d/,k
RobCon on March 12, 2008 at 11:24 AM
I cannot believe they ran this piece.
Awesome.
lodestonejames on March 12, 2008 at 11:25 AM
I loved it…
The end was classic. Did you see the look of total annoyance when she bumped into him. Priceless!
upinak on March 12, 2008 at 11:25 AM
That was great! Those morons made it comedy gold. I loved the parts where Riggles went through the wall yelling “HIPPIES!” and when he asked that idiot about an organization that would insure the right of free speech. She had no clue. Just classic comedy.
Though I will say, I couldn’t believe that these people actually think without the Marines, they would still have their right to say such stupid stuff.
Torch on March 12, 2008 at 11:26 AM
Well credit where it’s due. Good job Marine!
Dash on March 12, 2008 at 11:27 AM
This is from his talent agency bio. I have much more respect for him. Would he be considered an ‘affirmative action’ hire by the leftys that run the Daily Show?
shaner5000 on March 12, 2008 at 11:28 AM
You.
Just.
Can’t.
Make.
This.
Stuff.
Up.
Lawrence on March 12, 2008 at 11:28 AM
The Marines.
Mazztek on March 12, 2008 at 11:29 AM
Fan-FREAKIN-tastic! Can you imagine if this country is taken over and run by these moonbats. Get a short bus and load those losers up!
ihasurnominashun on March 12, 2008 at 11:30 AM
Oops, video is down. I question the timing!
shaner5000 on March 12, 2008 at 11:31 AM
“Wouldn’t it be great if there was an organization dedicated to defending that right?” Priceless.
Sugar Land on March 12, 2008 at 11:32 AM
Just thinking… but it would be great if Berkely split from the USA. Kicked all milatary and police from their borders. It would be such a utopia…
My only problem is that I live on the East coast, so by the time I got their all the good stuff would have already been looted (I mean re-appropriated)
Wyrd on March 12, 2008 at 11:32 AM
found a copy of the vid on you tube

Wyrd on March 12, 2008 at 11:34 AM
That was awesome Nice work Marine!
RINO_Hunter on March 12, 2008 at 11:34 AM
I love when they run clips like this, or ones that poke fun at democrats, and the audience doesn’t quite know how to react. It’s priceless.
They don’t do it too often, but when they do… Comedy Central Gold.
VolMagic on March 12, 2008 at 11:34 AM
The Comedy Central clips won’t run for me on a mac, in firefox or safari. This one, though, I clicked through to CC’s website, and it says the video is no longer available. Is anyone else getting that message?
nailinmyeye on March 12, 2008 at 11:36 AM
Freaking hilarious!
crabtree on March 12, 2008 at 11:40 AM
Oh, that’s nice. They took the time to look at the wackos on their side of the field. Hey every group has its nuts.
terryannonline on March 12, 2008 at 11:40 AM
Wow…you would think if these guys could see themselves, they’d realize how ridiculous they are…but yet…they don’t.
charlie36r on March 12, 2008 at 11:40 AM
The Democrats and Al Queda must be so proud… ByTheWay, does Islamic law allow pink burqas?
christophercube on March 12, 2008 at 11:43 AM
No wonder Code Pink has so much political clout . . . they appear to be absolutely brilliant . . . and yes, that’s blatant cynicism.
rplat on March 12, 2008 at 11:43 AM
Blocking their own interview, so priceless and clueless.
I must have dozed off before this was on, the Samantha B segment on Spitzer was hilarious,too.
bbz123 on March 12, 2008 at 11:43 AM
It’s amusing to hear the TDS studio audience laugh as this video is played .. while they would normally cheer this type of activity themselves.
wise_man on March 12, 2008 at 11:44 AM
That’s great
Lance Murdock on March 12, 2008 at 11:45 AM
Absolute moral authority, Rob Riggle!
drjohn on March 12, 2008 at 11:46 AM
Every once in a while The Daily Show does decide comedy trumps ideology — they did do the story 5-6 months ago on the Kennedy family’s hypocritical opposition to a wind farm off Martha’s Vineyard. And with the Republican nomination decided, it’s going to be pretty hard for Stewart & Co. not to mine the Democratic side of the aisle for stories from now through Labor Day — even Keith Olbermann over on “Countdown” couldn’t resist the temptation of the Elliot Spitzer saga.
Once the general election run starts in September, though, it will be business as usual for TDS, unless Stewart’s sick and they have to run a “Best Of” show from the winter-spring period.
jon1979 on March 12, 2008 at 11:48 AM
Lol…the most humourous part was the discomfort felt by the audience.
I could almost see the visual checkoff they were doing among themselves before starting to clap.
Asher on March 12, 2008 at 11:50 AM
The Pinko chick was too ignorant to get the correlation.
Priceless no doubt.
brtex on March 12, 2008 at 11:51 AM
Anything that sticks it to the Code Pink lunatics.
NeoconNews.com on March 12, 2008 at 11:52 AM
“The two are absolutely indistinguishable. This is Berkley - this is Iraq.”
Love it.
P.S. I love how the guy’s so illiterate almost sounds like “Berkley is a bastard of liberal thought.”
emailnuevo on March 12, 2008 at 11:52 AM
Heaven to me would be a couple dozen M80’s, a slingshot and a lighter across the street from code pink.
These people are morons. Well done Rob.
Geronimo on March 12, 2008 at 11:53 AM
Thanks for the youtube link.
That was pretty funny.
nailinmyeye on March 12, 2008 at 11:53 AM
It will be interesting to see how much Jon Steward makes fun of Sen. McCain because he’s a frequent guest and appears to sorta like him. These hosts seem to like people as long as they show up on their show.
terryannonline on March 12, 2008 at 11:54 AM
please tell me that was fake.
ok!! back to reality,it was real
im ok!!!!
vinllo on March 12, 2008 at 11:54 AM
says it all…rights for me but not for thee
that was just freakin’ classic
Old Tanker on March 12, 2008 at 11:56 AM
P.P.S. You think the Marines are immoral killing machines, pseudo-Allen Ginsberg? I don’t think jihadists are going to appreciate your passion for flower embroidery, slogan pins, and denim. They might share a hookah or two, though.
If the West falls, they’ll be the first ones gone. Yet they refuse to have any sort of self-esteem.
emailnuevo on March 12, 2008 at 11:58 AM

rockbend on March 12, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Hippies smell!
Winebabe on March 12, 2008 at 12:06 PM
Berkley is like any other town……………..ON WEED!
TroubledMonkey on March 12, 2008 at 12:08 PM
That was great, maybe there is hope for some of the libs on the Daily Show.
echosyst on March 12, 2008 at 12:08 PM
If you watch a toilet long enough, you’ll find a few kernels of corn.
Sensei Ern on March 12, 2008 at 12:10 PM
Comedy Central supports the Marines? This is a cosmic event.
I wonder how long until Code Pink starts suicide bombing? I would like to contribute to their training, as long as I get to hold the detonator.
Hening on March 12, 2008 at 12:11 PM
I am such a dumb ass, I should have realized if we did have police there would be no crime.
Wade on March 12, 2008 at 12:12 PM
The Berkeley airheads would be absolutely humorous if they didn’t actually believe the things they say.
TooTall on March 12, 2008 at 12:13 PM
I don’t know of a good use of hippies in my lifetime.
Rose on March 12, 2008 at 12:13 PM
For once TDS did something funny…but I won’t go so far as to say that they are on our side–Code Pink and the old hippies are just too easy to make fun of. Actually, they do it themselves, but having the Marine help was vunderbar.
The subtle aspect of this was having the Marine excuse himself for his rage attacks, as if they can’t control themselves. Whatever, the basic message came thru: Berzerkeley went too far and Code Pinkos are certifiable.
Christine on March 12, 2008 at 12:16 PM
No.
Lawrence on March 12, 2008 at 12:16 PM
“I am such a dumb ass, I should have realized if we did have police there would be no crime.” Me too, Wade, me too.
Christine on March 12, 2008 at 12:18 PM
That was great. I am still holding out hope that TDS will one day pick on the Libs as much as the Republicans. That clip reminded me of the half hour news hour. I wish that show was still on.
Erockk on March 12, 2008 at 12:18 PM
Confirms there is an ass for every seat.
Wade on March 12, 2008 at 12:19 PM
AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGHHHHHH!! Hippies! Boards!!
Finally, someone on TV who thinks like the military! Semper Fi, Mr. Riggle! That was hilarious.
Spc Steve on March 12, 2008 at 12:21 PM
Semper Fi!
Viper1 on March 12, 2008 at 12:21 PM
If only there were some organization to protect their right to free speech…. comedy GOLD jerry GOLD!
jojostan on March 12, 2008 at 12:22 PM
See, that’s training of the Corps showing through; if I’d been doing the interview with the 60s hippie, I’d not had the disipline to leave the room before going off :)) (I’m sure the board stuff and the wall were cut in afterward.)
It’s also the fun to watch the few tiny hesitations of the Pinkos as they are being schooled. It’s like a handful of logical brain cells rebel, only to get swarmed over by billions of their dysfunctional brethern.
michaelo on March 12, 2008 at 12:30 PM
Ditto, Semper Fi
Johan Klaus on March 12, 2008 at 12:37 PM
Brilliant.
(And kudos to Stewart for his intro.)
Semper Fi, Devil Dog.
tree hugging sister on March 12, 2008 at 12:39 PM
that was hilarious
p40tiger on March 12, 2008 at 12:41 PM
That was good. Humor is a great way to get a point across.
The one quote that stands out as the epitome of San Fran thinking thinking is as follows…
Code Pink Whack-job: “Wars, in general, would stop if we didn’t have weapons. Just like violence in our streets would stop if we didn’t have weapons.”
Reporter: “So, if we got rid of the police we wouldn’t have crime?”
Code Pink Whack-job: “Potentially.”
One word describes this Code Pink Whack-job — Moron.
eanax on March 12, 2008 at 12:44 PM
having endured this once already, I will say-not THIS military, not THIS war, NOT THIS TIME.
irongrampa on March 12, 2008 at 12:49 PM
To get rid of all the weapons in the world, humans would have to cease to exist…NO?
PappaMac on March 12, 2008 at 12:49 PM
hahaha greatness
trailortrash on March 12, 2008 at 12:49 PM
There, fixed it for ya. For free too, man!
eanax on March 12, 2008 at 12:52 PM
Absolutely. It’s why they just don’t get it.
Everything they believe in is a pipe-dream (pun intended).
eanax on March 12, 2008 at 12:58 PM
Reporter: “If only there was an organization that was sworn to defend that free speech.”
A**hole protester: “Wouldn’t that be great”.
Reporter: “That’d be outSTANDING!”
They don’t see their own stupidity. This is why we need to bomb Berserkely.
RWLA on March 12, 2008 at 1:01 PM
HAHA. Funny.
Riggle doing that McCain thing by venturing into a hot (pink) war zone, was priceless. No body armor, no helmut, no security detail. Wow! Riggle for Mayor of Berkeley.
“if only there was an organization dedicated to protecting your free speech…” Yea! The irony of it all.
Bacchus on March 12, 2008 at 1:12 PM
Never…NEVER…NEVER trust a hippie.
I’ve learned that the hard way.
benrand on March 12, 2008 at 1:29 PM
Yeah they do… like ass drenched in patchouli
Good Lord those people never cease to amaze me with their dim bulb brilliance.
No Military = Protected Democracy and Freedom
No Police = No Crime
US Military Has No Rights = Berzerkely Hippies Have ALL The Rights
From the shallow end of the gene pool they slither!
SilverStar830 on March 12, 2008 at 1:33 PM
Where’s an 85 year-old with his foot stuck on the accelerator when you need one?
D2Boston on March 12, 2008 at 1:34 PM
And your point here was…what, again?
dmh0667 on March 12, 2008 at 1:39 PM
I love the fact that Code Pink interrupted their own interview. Semper Fi!
