When Barack Obama stumbled over the word “states” while taking the presidential oath of office Monday, it went virtually unnoticed compared to how Chief Justice John Roberts was hammered for butchering the words four years ago.

However, Jon Stewart, who I normally think is a jerk, put an uproariously funny, must-watch spin on the flub.

According to Wikipedia, that not-so-legitimate news source we read anyway, the oath has been bungled six times, beginning in 1909 and ending with Robert’s 2009 mishap.

Watch Jon Stewart’s take on the fumbled word here:
