Stewart clearly has no patience for these guys and their daily bullshit sessions.  He&#8217;s especially insightful (and funny) in this exchange with Tucker Carlson:<br \/>\nCARLSON: Let me ask you a question on the news.<br \/>\nSTEWART: Now, this is theater. It&#8217;s obvious. How old are you?<br \/>\n(CROSSTALK)<br \/>\nCARLSON: Thirty-five.<br \/>\nSTEWART: And you wear a bow tie.<br \/>\nView it for yourself if you can.  I predict that Stewart will land a late-night spot on CBS or ABC within the next two years.  What I&#8217;m not so sure of is whether he&#8217;ll be able to maintain the biting, frat-boy-meets-Ivy-League tone that works so well on The Daily Show.  The over-35 crowd may not see the humor in Stewart calling someone a &#8220;douchebag.&#8221;  Let&#8217;s just hope it&#8217;s not Bush and Cheney who are still the douchebags.<br \/>\nAnd now I&#8217;m going see if the Packers can manage to win a game.  A 1-4 record; yeesh.  Reminds me of all those bleak seasons during the 1980s, back when we were stuck with coaches like Bart Starr and Forrest Gregg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bittorrent of Jon Stewart&#8217;s recent Crossfire appearance, where he dished up a scathing critique of televised partisan political theater disguised as serious debate, has been making the rounds on the internet and I finally got a chance chance to check it out this morning.
