Love Jon Stewart,love him but hard to listen to him criticise other political commentators for partisan chicanery, when he has made a career out of it.

I love Jon Stewart. It's great how these guys are trying to critisize him for not being tough on Kerry when Stewart's show is (as he put it so well) on after a show about puppets making crank calls.

yes, Stewart is pollitical and he's not "tough" on his guests, but it's a comedy show for gawd's sake. He's not claiming to be a serious news show like the Crossfire guys are

I don't think you can criticize Jon for not "holding Kerry's feet to the fire". Did you watch that interview? He usually goes into things regarding these issues (meaning politics) with one key thing to find out about, or get across. On Crossfire that key thing was bi-partisan politics is not good for getting things done. It causes deceptions and focuses on winning the House and Senate etc. and gaining control for THE PARTY not for THE PEOPLE. On the Kerry interview he did try to get something out of him. I think his key point for that interview was showing that "Flip-flopping" is always not a bad thing. It shows rethinking, and it shows consideration of topics and watching for changes in knowledge. But he did try to do this without really putting Kerry ahead and making his appearance just a free TV spot for campaigning. He did his share of keeping Kerry from Bush-Bashing. Kerry tried a few times, also to push his own agenda if he was elected president. He's been campaigning, so he very easily can slip into it :-P Jon picked up on it and stopped it.

As for tgeffeney's comment: he makes fun of partisan chicanery, and exposes it. And he makes fun of it in use by both parties. Watch his shows and other public appearances and you'll see that. He is a very large promoter of killing bipartisanship, as am I. Maybe that's why I like him so much :-) To be honest, I know he would never do it, but if he ran for a public office, I'd vote for him. He knows he hasn't got the skills he may need, and knows that the parties will chew him up and spit him out, but he has a level head, and an honest heart. Watch him. He admits his mistakes and he says when he thinks he's made a wrong choice. Politicans dont do that, and they should.

sorry for the long post. This is something I'm passionate about.

He makes a good point. Who's putting the difficult questions to the politicians? The impression we in Brit land get is that the debate in the US media has been very narrow. Where's the dissent?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Crossfire canceled soon after this?

"Wiseass does not equal smart.

Reading nothing but Ann Coulter & Little Green Footballs does not equal smart.

late commenting - pretty amazing how the guy on the right is always mocking jon stewart's comedy show for it's political content

stewart made that point 3 or 4 times but the guy still didn't seem to understand it.. the guy obviously made up some jokes/comebacks before the show, trying to out-do stewart, and ended up running out of material
