Jon Stewart takes shot at Cheney, thanks Bush for not dying

By Chad Merda

In the wake of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s torture report, “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart hasn’t held back his feelings, and was at it again Monday night.

Not only did Stewart dive head-first into former Vice President Dick Cheney’s appearance on “Meet the Press,” where he said the real torture was 9/11, he also asked this question: “Is Dick Cheney a righteous warrior or a psychopath?”

Stewart, who doesn’t have many complimentary things to say about former President George W. Bush, actually said he’s very thankful for something he did in office — stay alive.

“I’m going to end on a note of gratitude — something I never thought that I would say,” Stewart said. “George W. Bush, thank you for not dying while you were in office.”
