I started out disliking the article and disagreeing with the premise, but then I got to the part about the Zuccotti Park pieces. I remembered those stories and how confused and pissed I was at Stewart for hanging OWS out to dry. Reading further, I was reminded of all the TDS interviews I had looked forward to (Condi, Rumsfeld, etc), and how Stewart just let them slide. I still like TDS and TCR, but a little dose of perspective can be very refreshing. Good article.

You can make good jokes about the holocaust and rape. If you are intelligent, discerning, thoughtful. Not too many folks are in a world where Iran calls for Death to Israel and women are afraid to move freely through the world.

Thanks for your thoughtful analysis, hpqp. Good on you.

Beat me too it. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. And I love how he's making valid intellectual points while pretending to be a misogynistic anti-Semite. It's art.

It seems so effortless, but clearly so much thought has gone into each step and each conclusion.


People should hope to be as reasonable and thoughtful as a guy who's a professional asshole. That's awesome!

>> ^kymbos:

Man, who would have thought Louis would produce the best response to this.
Fucking hilarious. Imagine being called a 'rape apologist.


Ya, he handles it so well too. I def envy his demeanor.

I'm sure you're right, $100k is chump-change to a man that can get a $77k write-off for dressing up his horse.

I'll bet that $100k is equivalent to how some CEO's take $1 salaries. It's a token amount, when their typical take is in the 8 figures. >> ^bareboards2:

I've heard this many times, the $100K wage in 2000 and 2001. First time I have had this thought --- what was his wage in 1999?
I'll bet it was 5 times that. But we don't know, because he won't release his tax returns.

Ah em, It's Jon Stewart.

Thanks! I'll blame the fact that I can very rarely watch anything Daily Show cos it's all goddamned blocked, which I remain sore about even now!

Blocked?! You have the internet, man!
There's a tube for that.

Wo-man, and I'm not very good on the internet, the only way I know how is to fuck about with my ISP address and I don't want to
I should have specified my message was in the voice of a loud, English Stephen Fry type character, and the line sounded good in my head, wrong gender intact. I guess you don't do BitTorrent then?

Hahaha, oh! Yeah, I'm not adverse to torrents, but I'm not quite curious enough to go about downloading yet. I just want it at my fingertips, so many times I've seen stuff I know I'd love and whoops! it's TDS. Fuckers...
