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.
