Jon Stewart slammed Keith Olbermann on Thursday's Daily Show for his remarks on the newly elected Massachusetts senator Scott Brown.

On the Daily Show, Jon Stewart replayed segments of Keith Olbermann's "Countdown". Keith Olbermann said Scott Brown is "an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, tea-bagging supporter of violence against women and against politicians with whom he disagrees."

Jon Stewart responded the remark by setting two things straight: "A) A Massachusetts Republican is still considered like a gay Democrat in other parts of the country and B) I think that's the harshest description of anyone I've ever heard uttered on MSNBC and that includes descriptions of the guys that star in your weekend prison program."

Stewart said Keith Olbermann resorted to name calling on this one, and went on to impersonate him with many pairs of glasses and obsessive use of the word "Sir".
