Jon Stewart: Hero, Patriot, Political Bitch-Slapper

      Thank God for Jon Stewart, contemporary media's unlicens'd fool and natural postmodern man, for going on CNN's Crossfire and dressing down the political hackery central to it (and endemic in media circles at the moment). I recommend reading the transcript of the show, of which this excerpt with Tucker Carlson is the kicker:

CARLSON: I do think you're more fun on your show. Just my opinion.
CARLSON: OK, up next, Jon Stewart goes one on one with his fans...
STEWART: You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.
Beautiful.       

      Oh, dear lord, if only he'd been on with Bob "The Douchebag for Liberty" Novak.   As a certain family guy would say, that would have been freakin' sweet. You can also check out the episode proper by clicking on Jon's pic, or on this funny little word coming up right about, er, maybe, just a second, right HERE.
