“Apparently, any jackass in a suit willing to go on television and criticize the president can make a pretty hefty living,” Jon Stewart said last night on The Daily Show. To crown the biggest jackass of all, Stewart trotted out a new segment: "So You Think You Can Douche."

Sean Hannity's shenanigans were in contention, until Stewart ruled: “Pretty douchey, but it's low-hanging fruit.” Then "birther" Lou Dobbs almost took home the title. But last-minute contender Glenn Beck came from behind to beat out Dobbs, causing Stewart to gasp, “Do you believe in miracles?” Catch the clip at left. (More Jon Stewart stories.)
