Halx, thats your opinion and you are entitled to it. At the same time, I couldn't disagree with you more. The Jon Stewarts of the world are nothing new in the theater of political satire. You've seen one, you've seen them all. There are only new generations with minds of clean slate. The question is whether the entertainer's style is one that appeals to you. His doesn't.
doc, I used to watch Politically Incorrect. I enjoyed it. I'm too much of a cheap lazy bastard to get a cable box and catch his new show on HBO. But I know his schtick. And I believe it comparable to Stewarts. Funny, but I like Bill Mahrer, but I don't like Stewart. It just boils down to the fact that I don't find Jon Stewart very funny. I probably would have thought his performance on CNN completely subversive, triumphant and hysterical if I thought the guy was funny. Be he just ain't funny to me.
BigGov, you wouldn't be the president of the Jon Stewart Fan Club by chance? Who said that him voting for Kerry makes him a bad person, heheheh! Who said that running his mouth on Crossfire makes him a bad person? Not me. I said he was a weasel, I didn't say he was an axe murderer. More power to him if he thinks he proved something by standing up to CNN. Its not my problem that you think I don't know what I'm talking about. I think I know what I'm talking about, I've been around a bit. It might be your problem though that you find his version of liberal left political commentary so illuminating and humorous. I would question your sense of humor, sir. But, on the other hand, I'm glad for you that his sensibilities mesh with yours. You will allow me my right to change the channel I trust.
