On last night\u2019s Daily Show, Jon Stewart took on the conservative response to the recent onslaught of scandals facing the White House, or as Stewart calls it, \u201cHurricane Scandy, the continuing tropical shitstorm that is rocking the Obama administration.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday, White House press secretary Jay Carney, like an intrepid weather man let the wind and rain pummel him for our entertainment purposes,\u201d Stewart said, before showing a lengthy montage of press corps reporters grilling Carney on the IRS, Associated Press and Benghazi. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut you know what, fair is fair,\u201d Stewart observed. \u201cIt is a good week for conservatives. The angry rhetoric and level of upset about the president, for once, seems somewhat appropriate.\u201d <\/p>\n

Stewart proceeded to play another montage, this time of Fox pundits wetting their pants over the president\u2019s recent troubles, ending with a clip of Fox and Friends\u2019 Steve Doocy saying, \u201cthis is very bad news for the White House,\u201d while showing a rather suggestive smirk. <\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Doocy, I could go without knowing what your \u201cO\u201d face is,\u201d Stewart quipped. <\/p>\n

\u201cSee what you have done Obama administration? Their complaints are legitimate!\u201d Stewart continued. The host played a clip of Fox\u2019s Megan Kelley questioning how these scandals never reached any senior leadership, adding \u201cIs there anybody who\u2019s minding the shop?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I was saying yesterday! You know what, Megan Kelley? We\u2019ve had our differences. Maybe it\u2019s time we have a show together \u2013 call it \u2018Fox and Frenemy\u2019. No wait, \u2018Beauty and the Bris\u2019.\u201d <\/p>\n
