'Jon Stewart and The Daily Show team tackled just a few of the more interesting stories that came along our C&L news desk. From General Abizaid's testimony about General Shinseki being correct about the need for more troops in post-Saddam Iraq to Glenn Becks despicable interview with incoming Congressman Keith Ellison, Jon puts a hysterical spin on things we really shouldn't be laughing at.'

1. How do we KNOW Glenn hasn't been in a Denny's?

2. heh, good one...

:dilemma:

3. "Finally a guy who says what those who aren't thinking, are thinking"

One of the better quotes of the year.

4. I love Jon. I believe he and those who help him, have singlehandedly changed the course of

this country. They were the only ones who, day in and day out, have stood up and said "WTF?". Not that others haven't done it, but paid comedian or not, he and his supporters/helpers/enablers have raised the bar for political questioning and common sense.

Go Jon.

5. Dayum...Beck got totally served. n/t

9. Ladyhawk, is that you; how you doing these days, hon...

:hug:

6. Yet again a partisan of a crowd that just got destroyed in the last election

presumes to pronounce on what John (may I, eponymous one?) Q Public would feel about Congressman Keith Ellison's stance on the mega-debacle in Iraq.

They really need to be slapped down straight away when they do this by their interlocutor, whoever he or she may be. It's a great opportunity to highlight their electoral rout, as well as mock their idiotic presumption and relocate them in reality.

7. "This is not going to end well..."

We should catalog every racist thing that comes out of Glenny's mouth and show it to CNN with the note "Fire him or we boycott your sponsors."

Do the same to anyone whose ads air during that show.

Maybe CNN will take the hint then.

[libodem]

10. Just who are the sponsors?

I'll never buy another thing they sell again. Sleep number beds are advertised on his radio show, which by the way I fly to the radio and turn it off at the very sound of his intro music. No wonder his mother killed herself.

8. Glenn Beck...the charming conservo-nut.

...Beck serves up his radical ideas with warm and charming shtick. I think Beck
erroneously believes that being cute and fuzzy makes the Fascism more palatable.

I used to listen to Beck about a year ago. He was funny, entertaining and he
wasn't as radicalized. He seems to be capitulating to BushCo.

His ridiculous "We're all gonna die!!!" fearmongering is really getting old.
Beck has become the "Chicken Little" of the airwaves.

Beck's racist/bigoted comments were so ignorant and silly. Beck really has
lost it. The whole, "prove to me you're not working with our enemies" line
was one of the more stupid things I've ever heard a right-winger say. Beck
took the most radicalized, ignorant stereotype of Muslims, and asked this respected
politician to prove that he wasn't that stereotype.

Tune in next week, when Beck will interview the following people and ask
them these "intelligent" questions:

--Beck to a woman--"Prove to me that you're not as dumb as a man!"
--Beck to a Jewish man-- "Prove to me that you don't want to own all of the banks!"
--Beck to a British man--"Prove to me that you're not a tea-sipping, limy bastard!"

Beck is entranced by his own charms--that's why he thinks he can escape accountability
on his absurdity.

Jon totally bent Beck's ignorance around his head...
