Daily Show Production Team Nets Creative Freedom

gremlins writes "Jon Stewart, who recently celebrated his sixth anniversary with "The Daily Show" and was a rumored possible replacement to Dan Rathers, has signed a deal which allows his production team, Busboy Productions, to develop televison projects on their own. The deal also allows Busboy Productions to flirt with other networks when looking for a home for the projects. Comedy Central still gets the right of first refusal for any projects created."

    When Bush won his second term.
    No Shit look it up.
    He was in NYC going to some media party where everyone was having a good time(including his staff writers) despite the results coming in.Like most Lefty Partisan Hacks Stewie had been pounding his pud in celebatory anticipation of the Kerry Victory the rigged MSM exit polls had predicted.Like Michael More Lil Jonny was already to take credit for bringing down "Bush Chimpler".
    Well he walks in and sees FL for Bush and Ohio leaning and he walked out sulking and back home to cry.
    If he is so Hip and Au Courant and "better" than real journalists why the fuck couldn't he have a good time and say Ce La Vie?
    Cuse he is a whining little prettyboy who takes himself too seriously.
