Journeyman, not sure if you were trying to debate me or agreeing with me. If you were trying to debate me though I think you misunderstood what I said.

powerclown: there's a big difference between letterman and stewart. Stewart's show FOCUSES on politics and Letterman's show HAPPENS to sometimes mention it. Letterman is a comedian, and Stewart is a POLITICAL comedian. He oberves politics constantly and finds humor in it - and a lot of it. Thus, he is doing what any other political celebrity does and going on a show to talk about it. Only, he's doing it intelligently, unlike, say, Cameron Diaz. I don't think his presence on Crossfire is in any way contradictory to the fact his show is comedy. It's not his fault the other news networks and shows suck so much that they can't even top a COMEDY show when it comes to dispersing information on the presidential election (if you don't know, there was a study done on this).
