You all can thank me later. With money.
Um, that very same link is in the OP.

Yes, but some people are complaining they couldn't see it, so I figured, maybe they need to have it pointed out to them again. :P

I love watching their faces as they slowly realize they're dealing with an intelligent person. My favorite line:
"C'mon say something funny" (How fucking petulant is that!?)
"No, I'm not going to be your monkey."
an intelligent person, unlike wthemselves. i saw the video from the fark link, he trashed those assholes. it was kinda sad though cause he never realy was allowed to get to his point

You get the impression that all of Stewart's comments went ~whoosh~ over everyone's (but especially Tucker's) heads? I'm watching that clip and I'm thinking 'Dude --he's fucking ripping your nipples off!--are you even pretending to listen to what's he's saying?'

I wonder if Stewart is going to use that clip on the next Daily Show?

It was quite apparent that Tucker Carlson was insincere and full of fake smiles. The other guy just seemed like a dullard; dumb, but means well. Or not, since I don't watch Crossfire and have no clue who the fuck these dickheads are.

Stewart displayed tremendous class in intereacting with both of them, especially Carlson. He didn't get stuck in a shouting match with him, and he made a valiant effort at trying to get his point across. But I wouldn't expect a moron like Carlson to even understand 50% of what Stewart said, particularly since he was trying to speak over him in a vain effort at getting the last word. The audience at least seemed entertained. If Stewart is going to rip it off on his show - *reminds self to see if I can watch his show somehow* - I hope he puts that clip from Gladiator, where Russel Crowe has just killed a dozen arseholes and then shouts out to the crowd "ARE YOU ENTERTAINED?" :D
