New Jersey and You: A Perfect Fit
Well ... unless you like to go over 25 MPH on supposed "highways" in which case you'll get speeding tickets.
But I digress: the quotation is because at the RU commencement, Fmr. Gov. Kean (what a shame they didn't have Byrne as well -- that would have been too much entertainment for a commencement speech, I guess) praised The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, essentially for raising the level of discourse in the USA. I didn't catch if TDS had a response to it, but I somehow imagine Jon Stewart saying something to the effect of "it's a pretty sad day in America if our show is an example of better rather than worse discourse" -- but of course, Jon Stewart would have said it in a wittier manner.
