Thanks, Giovanni. Last time I looked neither Glenn Beck nor Bill O'Reilly (neither of which exactly requires any skill to make fun of) were holding elected office.
Michelle Bachman, on the other hand...

And yet TDS mocked them before as well. There's no requirement on Stewart to only mock the politicians. TDS has always been about mocking the media. Or did you miss that?

Mark:
Oh, I'm sorry. Glenn Beck's an insane moron -- stop the presses. Meanwhile, I thought Stewart was going to braid Nancy Pelosi's pubic hair with his tongue last time she was on. You know who Pelosi is -- someone who actually has a significant role in passage of legislation?

You make a valid point, but strewth, ta muchly for that mental image...

Albeit one with a prominent cable "news" show, which gives him a head start on most insane morons.

That's awesome. It's good to have you back on the board.

It was much like most of his political interviews -- if Stewart doesn't have a particular bone to pick he keeps it jolly. But I fear I've lost track of your point here ...
-
He had McCain on the show something like eleven times, and it was always pure amity.

I'm not sure he has one but, if so, I think it's that a comedian isn't consistent politically (WTF?)

Now that's going to haunt me 'till I die.
In all seriousness, though, the guy was perfectly polite and even deferential to Mike Huckabee when he had him on. Not every interview is going to be like the Jim Cramer one. And, as Stewart has often said himself: it's *not his job* to be fair.
-
Stewart has been deferential to a large number of fools appearing on his show. His interviewing style is usually genial and comedic.
He did reduce Cramer to the verge of blubbering incoherency, which was fascinating in itself, but I'm not sure you would call it good comedy. And it's not Stewart's normal style. -

Unless of course it's starts to get nasty I get some sort of perverse pleasure watching these wackos. Real Clear Politics's front page usually has a link or two to the more extreme blogs, which often make the comments on Red State look like a charm school. I just can't help myself. People think I'm odd, but looking at this thread I feel more comfortable in my fetish. I'm not alone.
At least we know where they are now. Sixty years back they were hiding under white sheets in the Appalachians and planting burning crosses. Of course then came TV and the HUAC and we never looked back.

Kind of like ripping scabs of a partially healed wound?

This I believe rings a bell...
The Indy 7/11/2002 - Is this the end of the rainbow for South Africa? -
You do that too?
Everybody does. They just pretend they don't.

But here's where I get stuck: Don't you just end up being an enabler? And I'm saying this as someone who eventually got it through his thick head that arguing with the fucktard community over on Kiwiblog was the psychic equivalent of perfoming anilingus on someone with a thrombosed hemorrhoid.
I've got all the crazy I can (just) process without taking on anyone elses.
-

There is that of course, but then I feel that every time I find myself watching ten minutes of American Idol.
I can't be bothered with Kiwiblog or that Whale fella or any other the try-hard Kiwi wackos, they're too wannabe, like a poor man's Xerox of the American sub-species that fester in the comments pages of WND and the like.
I'm hoping James enjoyed the last part of your first paragraph without gagging too hard on his teabags.
-
Teabaggers hit the streets. Embarrassing, straight out of the gate:
Apparently the FreedomWorks tipsheet was all for nought.
-
Are there circumstances under which people who drop that F-bomb in polite political discourse aren't embarrasing? And it's a shame Josh Marshall couldn't put the sneer in neutral for a moment, because that tipsheet seemed pretty damn sensible.
-
Though having said that, it's rather sad that Ross Kaminsky felt the need to write one in the first place...
-
I just tuned into fox for a moment, one sign said "Obama is a Communist, liberal, socialist fascist". The guy obviously did not study politics at school.
Also love the subliminal messages on Fox, when they go live they use right now on top of the caption. Maybe I'm reading too much into this.
-
I hear "fascist", I think Rik from The Young Ones - any respect I might have just evapourates in the face of that image...
-
Let's talk about this respect you might have...
-
"Obama is a Communist, liberal, socialist fascist"
Heh. The guy's well-rounded, I'll give him that.
-
Let's talk about this grudging recognition of a formidable adversary despite, or perhaps even because of the threat they pose to moral and civilised society, you might have...
I fixed this with lots of useless decorative bits for you.
-
Recognition in the sense of taking seriously as a threat, rather than any kind of esteem, obviously. I've lost my touch with this internets thing.
