Jon Stewart to Tucker Carlson: "You're a Dick"

Jon Stewart is my hero.

He went on Crossfire today and instead of joking around as the clueless hosts obviously expected him to, he took them task for shirking their responsibility as journalists. Then he actially called Carlson a "dick", something most Americans would probabaly have loved to have said to the "journalist".

CARLSON: I do think you're more fun on your show. Just my opinion.

(CROSSTALK)

CARLSON: OK, up next, Jon Stewart goes one on one with his fans...

(CROSSTALK)

STEWART: You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.

Amazing. My hero. You can read the whole transcript of the show on the Crossfire website.

I just watched it this morning, and I loved it. Brilliant, and it sums up why I find myself switching off the t.v. and listening to my Sinatra c.d.'s

I'm not burying my head in the sand, I'm just numb to what the "mass-media" typically has to offer.
