[thebigidea]

1. yeah, this looks like its going to be interesting...

and not just for the white suit factor.

[LittleApple81]

2. Graydon Carter, author of "What we have Lost" speaking now

and it is a great speech.

[LittleApple81]

3. I think he was referring to reading the Patriot Act and mentioned the Fuck

Factor (that's exactly what he said)...Everytime you read another paragraph you had to go OH FUCK!!!!

[buycitgo]

4. I was half asleep this morning when the aired it live, and wasn't sure

if he said that

guess he did

and isn't it amazing that it's even an issue?

now, Tom Wolfe up, who's become insufferable, talking about the college scene

your time, alas, may be up, Tom

I say that with great sadness, having read most of his books, the earliest of which are the fundament upon which "the new" journalism is built

so sad

so smug, Tom

you should reread "The Man Who Peaked too Soon"

[thebigidea]

5. yeah, love his old stuff but this performance is just plain creepy

Bring on Jon!

He's talking about Lambada? What the FUCK?!!?

Tom Wolfe 2: The Forbidden Dance

I don't like hearing the words "groping" and "oral sex" from this man - all the while, licking his lips compulsively.

[buycitgo]

8. exactly.......he looks like Jeremy Bentham....after they stuffed him

ever seen that?

he sits in a cabinet somewhere in England.......stuffed!

[buycitgo]

9. maybe I should have said reminded, instead of looked like

[napi21]

7. I don't know, I think he's pretty funny.

Maybe cause I'm old, but the French kiss/tonsil hockey bit was funny.

[buycitgo]

11. tonsil hockey?

come on

that's older than the above stiff

he's running out of gas

how old are you?

just curious

[napi21]

16. 61 if that really matters. ;O)) n/t

[parasim]

12. yeah, and Jon sprinkles the word

amongst his q&a thing that he did... it's great that c-span doesn't bleep that stuff.

and let's hope they show the footage that was knocked out with the "technical difficulties" when he started to talk about Bush.

[Lin]

6. thank you! would've forgotten <eom

[LittleApple81]

10. Stewart on now!

Abu Ghraib not torture but freedom tickling!

[LittleApple81]

13. Did they just CUT OUT THE PART WHERE Stewart had comments

about Bush being stupid???? I purposedly watched the program for a second time this afternoon... and I did not see anything about Audio trouble OR the actual quote about Bush... Did I fall sleep or they just cut it out?

[parasim]

14. They sure did.

I compared the afternoon showing with the one that I Tivoed this morning and they cut out a full 2 minutes from Stewart's bit! They completely cut out the question that was asked about him having Bush on as a guest all the way through to where he was mocking the Saddam/binLaden link attempts.

so... they don't censor the language (that's a good thing) but they censor out negative comments about Bush... sheesh!

[hellbound-liberal]

15. Is President Clinton still coming on at 6:00? I also want to see

Amy Goodman on C-Span1 at 8:00.
