It's lonely at the top...

On the Daily Show, Obama is the last laugh:
"'You don't want to use that phrase, dude,' Stewart recommended with a laugh.

Dude. The indignity of a comedy show host calling the commander in chief 'dude' pretty well captured the moment for Obama. He was making this first-ever appearance by a president on the Daily Show as part of a long-shot effort to rekindle the spirit of '08. In the Daily Show, Obama had a friendly host and an even friendlier crowd.
How Presidential.

Once upon a time jesters courted kings. Now enfeebled kings court jesters. Panting after the approval of the smug comedian Jon "Stewart," Barack Obama taped an interview for The Daily Show on Wednesday.
