He also did what any decent american wants to do at one point or another — he called Tucker Carlson a dick.

Crossfire. They get the biggest bunch of party shills together to argue talking points. It's all a bunch of noise that does nothing for us. Ok, maybe it entertains in a Springer sort of way, but it's just as bad.

And everyone on Crossfire hates him now. Really? The man calls you on all your bullshit, gets your audience clapping for his criticisms of the show, says “I'm not going to be your monkey” and, I delight to mention again, calls Tucker Carlson a dick, and you hate him? Huh. No kidding.

Can't say I'm surprised by the cheerleader hosts on that show. Well at least Stewart united them.

It was even more fun than when Tom Oliphant was on the Lehrer Newshour. John O'Neill (Mr. Swift Boat) was there as well. Oliphant was much more careful not to offend the host.
TOM OLIPHANT: Again, the credibility problem, which is what keeps this thing in the tabloids primarily and on cable television where there are different standards.

Almost conclusive doesn't cut it in the world's parts of journalism where I live, John. You have a burden here. And almost conclusive is nowhere near what I'm looking for.
Read between the lines there, folks.

And by the way, Jon Stewart is right — Robert Novak is a douchebag. Of liberty. Though Carville, Begala and Tucker “Dick” Carlson are trying hard to earn that title too. They just haven't been able to out a CIA agent yet. I'm sure they're working on it though.

Have I mentioned that Jon Stewart is my hero? Also, that he called Tucker Carlson a dick?|||109815850794089969|||Jon Stewart on Crossfire10/19/2004 11:46:00 AM|||Blogger cczernia|||Money. Your obsessed with this stuff. When the election is over you'll have to find a new hobby. You could always find some D&Ders and argue who would kicks whos ass. Raistlin vs Gandolf vs Eliminster.

Oh man I'm not looking forward to this Saturday :(

I havn't seen the episode of Crossfire (never even heard of it). However, last night on the Daily Show he did seem shaken up when talking about it. Have to check it out later.
