The crying shame here is that this thread is just like that show. We've spent 2 pages talking about the daily show, and jon stewart.
Rather than respond to the charge that they were political hacks, the bow tied one flipped it back to Jon's questions. And it works. It's clear it's not a debate - the other person's point can't be acknowledged and built upon - there's a schedule to keep, dammit. And prebuilt pictures of Stewart's questions to Kerry to show.
It seems clear that many people (in this thread) hear the points Jon was making on the show. And some great comments. But somehow the bulk of the conversation (of the show, and of the thread) is not on those points. It becomes who interrupts the best, who talks loudest, and who can tangent the best.
Sad.
