He will be doing Tupperware conventions in no time. If anyone wants to hear Bush speak they will hire Dick Cheney.

Last night (or this morning, thanks to time-shifting) he led with an eleven-minute piece on the Fox News opinion-to-news-to-opinion loop that was like a Sixty Minutes segment with profanity (a combination I could use more of). I know this reveals my hitherto carefully concealed personal political bias, but this was good analysis. And funny. But then, I have low tastes. Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo! Nyuk nyuk nyuk. [eyepoke]

Saw that last night. Very well done and he finished it by blasting the Obama spokesperson as well.

If Stewart were a tad less over the top with his clown antics, he'd probly be one of the more respected commentators on TV.

True. And he'd lose his fool's teflon.
I think I read somwhere that 30somethings and younger get most of their news content from blogs and the Daily Show. Don't know how that comes thru the filter, but it looks like a cartoon version of the world to me.
Then again, if you accept the corporate version is skewed....

The cartoon view of the world is the accurate one. The rest of that crap is propaganda peddled by playground bullies dressed up as hall monitors.

It's unfortunate that the only "news" show that has the confidence to call "Bullshit" on politicians of either side and on Fox News is The Daily Show.
