Jon Steward vs O'Reilly

Post by frigidmagi »

Just finished watching this interview. Now, this wasn't a massive clash or anything by any means, the gentlemen involed seemed rather cheerful with each other, but...

O'Reilly called the Daily Show audenice a bunch of stoned slackers. Hey Bill, I'm hardly a slacker and I don't smoke a damn thing, or shoot up or sniff or whatever. In fact the Daily Show is pretty popular around here with the non-stoned crowd. Jealious perhaps? Whatever, I thought that was a little rude and bit arrongent.

Suggesting there was something wrong with Kerry showing up on the Daily Show instead of the Factor. Come on, he can show up on a comedy show that always treats it's guest well or to a show that leans sooo far to the right that it's about to fall over... Take a wild guess...

I thought Jon (who yes is someone I look up to) handled himself with tact and good humor. But I may be fan whoring here, so I'll throw open to floor to comments. Anyone else see this and wanna share their thoughts?

Ya, I saw that shit (TWICE, no less!) and I think Stewart nailed O'Lielly about the 'Boycott France' bit. Something about not boycotting Saudi Arabia despite their being known to support Al Qaeda.
