Apr 23, 2014 4:39 PM UTC Jon Stewart did what he does best Tuesday night, calling out the media for fawning over the contents of Chelsea Clinton’s uterus. In a segment called “The Broads Must Be Crazy” — thank you, _The Daily Show_ writing staff — Stewart riffed on the media’s breathless speculation about how a fetus might affect grandmother-to-be Hillary Clinton’s still-unannounced presidential campaign. The “grandchild factor” never came up during the race between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, despite Romney’s “mess of grandchildren,” Stewart said. Stewart then went after the media’s reaction to Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s “emotional” state and touched on Bridget Kelly, the Christie Christie aide fired amid the Bridgegate scandal.
