This evening, I believe. For those few Mudcatters who even know who he is. Or that he called Tucker Carlson a dick--twice!--on Crossfire recently. :)

Anyone planning on watching?

I posted a link to the CNN interview. You can watch the entire thing here. If you're not a member, you have to choose one of the two slower speeds, but it's still plenty fast to see and hear the entire conversation.

He is in many of the hilarious clips I recently posted links to in the Politics 2004 thread. He's the brightest and funniest guy out there at the moment.

His book has been banned by Maul Wart, after executives learned America The Book contains a photo of nine naked, aged bodies, each with the superimposed head of a U.S. Supreme Court justice.

Yee haw! Thank yew Maul Wart! It's sure to be a blockbuster of a book now.

A very very clever man---oh, to have his deadpan delivery and comical insights.   A day or so ago he was on CSpan with some press convention---great fun and insight.

He had some fun with the reporters that were part of the guest list. Especially the NY Post---what was once a great newspaper and now is nothing but a fish wrapping rag---he jokingly replied to their reporter's question about what he finds wrong with the press----his comment---"your paper---for a starter".

He is VERY fast on his feet, isn't he? The book is hilarious. I work in a high school, and this book is SO much better than the "real" civics textbooks!

He is brillant, sarcastic and had Steve Croft laughing throughout the interview on tonight's 60 minutes. I rarely miss his show, The Daily Show, although I probably am outside the demographic he most appeals to. I can't get enough of his humor. He is very appealing i.e., viewpoint, style, humor,intelligence, repartee and good looks. Glad to see that he is enjoying success with his book, a deligation as he put it, and recognition outside the cable audience.

They ended the 60 Minutes piece with a discussion of the slogans of the networks. Stewart remarked, for example, that the Fox slogan "Fair and Balanced" drives many folks nuts. Croft thought about it, and said "we [CBS] don't have one." Stewart's reply: "Yes you do: May Cause Drowsiness."

Just received this in an email from a friend. Jon nails it, again:

Subject: A Political Question

Larry King's Interview with Jon Stewart

Larry asked Jon if America was ready for a woman or a
black president.

Jon looked at him quizzically and said, "This is such a
non-question... Did anyone ask us in 2000 if Americans
were ready for a MORON?"
