Jon Stewart chose to go easy on Bill O’Reilly on Tuesday. Maybe he should have asked him about this:

O’REILLY: President Bush has got to understand one thing: that he’s in control, he’s in command. It’s his government to run right now. He’s the most powerful man in the world. He sets the agenda. He’s the leader. He’s gotta understand that. It’s not Karl Rove; it’s not Congress; it’s him. And when he makes a mistake, as he did in Katrina, and he admitted the mistake. And he said, look, it’s on me. And I was glad to see him do that.

I hope it awakened him from his lethargy. He was lethargic. That was his mistake. It wasn’t that he was — didn’t like black people or didn’t like poor people. That’s all a bunch of garbage. He was lethargic, all right? Maybe he’s exhausted, probably is. I’m exhausted, and he works twice as hard as I do.

Yes, Presidenting. That’s hard work. Of course Bush had been on vacation for five weeks when Katrina hit. If O’Reilly is working half as hard as the President is, he’s not getting out of bed everyday, and we’re lampooning a clone.
