- Jon Stewart

Jon Stewart's quote is a sarcastic comment on the efficiency of Timothy McVeigh's attorney. McVeigh was convicted of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and his attorney's defense was not successful in avoiding him from getting the death sentence. Stewart is suggesting that the attorney's efforts were so inefficient that even he, a comic, could have done a better task. This is a criticism of the legal representative's efficiency, as Stewart implies that the legal representative was not able to offer a strong adequate defense to prevent McVeigh from getting the death penalty. Stewart's quote is a funny method of revealing his dissatisfaction with the legal representative's efficiency.
