Politics is entirely too serious, and everyone is deadly earnest, even when the importance of being earnest is obsolete.
Jon Stewart has brought much needed humor to the political process, but even he, powerful as he is has been unable to rescue the other Republican party (sometimes known as Democrats) from their cowardice and incompetence.
In order to give him some material, as well as to sow confusion, fear and loathing and satire I suggest that the Democrats band together and vote as a bloc for Michelle.
