The allusion in "Tweet Smell of Success" to "Reichian" refers not to Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor, but Wilhelm Reich, renegade psychotherapist and founder of the Orgone Institute, who in his 1948 book Listlen, Little Man! addressed the reader:
"You let the powerful demand power 'for the little man.' But you yourself are silent. You provide powerful men with more power or choose weak, malignant men to represent you. And you discover too late you are always the dupe."
Not a bad description of Bush's "base."

If I heard "little man" and Reich in the same sentence, I'd assume they were talking about Robert Reich. He may be the only guest ever that Jon Stewart loomed over.
