Jon Stewart and Anthony Weiner have been friends long before either man became famous. Which is why the past week must have been difficult for Stewart, as his duty as a political satirist has demanded that he relentlessly mock his old buddy.

Some have argued that Stewart has been derelict in that duty. For that, Stewart apologized in a mock 'Daily Show' press conference Tuesday night, which spoofed the press conference Weiner held Monday, in which the Congressman acknowledged and apologized for sending suggestive pictures to various female Internet friends.
