More on Crossfire

Jon Stewart's appearance on crossfire has been the talk of the blogging world lately. A lot of people, after reading the transcript, are commenting on how Mr. Stewart became rather rude toward the end of the appearance. Until this afternoon I didn't disagree.

I watched the clip today. Stewart handled himself perfectly the whole time. He did come on with an agenda, and the hosts were not prepared for this. Apparently they did not go over what they wished to talk about with their guest, or did not ask the guest what he planned on discussing. You'd think they'd at least have a little pow-wow before going on the air to go over what was going on.

After watching the clip I now think this was like Da Ali G Show turned on its head. Ali G is an interviewer who is too dumb for his guests. Jon Stewart was a guest who was too intelligent for his hosts.

Now I'm thinking I need to stage a write-in campaign for Jon Stewart for president. He gets it all a lot more than anyone else seems to.
