Jon Stewart has spoken out on the faux “Stewart/Colbert ‘08″ campaign for president, and it isn’t good news for supporters.

“Nothing says ‘I am ashamed of you my government’ more than ‘Stewart/Colbert ‘08,’” said Stewart on Sunday, according to the Associated Press. He was being interview by New Yorker editor David Remnick at the magazine’s festival.

Stewart said that t-shirts promoting the idea of him and Stephen Colbert running for office “are a real sign of how sad people are” under the current administration.

The comedian also said that he’s constantly trying to get top members of President George Bush’s administration to appear on his program, “The Daily Show.”

“We have requests in there to everyone including Barney,” Stewart quipped, in reference to Bush’s Scottish terrier. “Only Barney replies.”
