Jon Stewart on Crossfire

[Ed Miller]

I don't know if anyone else watched this, but I did, and it ruled. Crossfire had it WAY coming.

As reported by the venerable MTV.com:

Here's a good quality version in torrent form

This was one of the best and most hilarious things I've ever seen. Stewart truly made them look like fools. Anone notice the extra commercials too?

[wacki]

Agreed, Jon Stewert rocks.

He did a very similar thing to O'reilly when he went on his show.

I give the man 2 thumbs up!

[MaxPower]

John Stewart is great.

The funniest part was where he told them that the show that leads into his is pupppets making crank phone calls.

[Chah Ngo]

I like this part:

CARLSON: I do think you're more fun on your show. Just my opinion.

(CROSSTALK)

CARLSON: OK, up next, Jon Stewart goes one on one with his fans...

(CROSSTALK)

STEWART: You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.

Stewart wants it both ways. He wants to hide behind his status as a "comedian" whenever someone confronts him as a partisan who throws softballs at Kerry, but then he wants us to take his political statements seriously as if he's something more than a mere comedian.

You can't have it both ways. Either we can't take him seriously and thus we shouldn't criticize his political stances and the way he favors Kerry, or we should accept his serious pronouncements on politics and hold him to his own standards.

Typical.

As usual you hit right on the head Natedog.

Although Crossfire does suck massive donkey dick

[daryn]

i agree with you to a point. but it's not that he wants it both ways. if the guy were to attack stewart's beliefs then that would be one thing, but to attack his show is another, as it is clearly a comedy show.
