1. This was an excellent show! Jon Stewart showed me a different side of himself

I have always known that he was bright and insightful but I never realized how deep and introspective he could be. Josh Marshall was impressive as always. They both must make freepers cringe!

4. The comment that Jon made the other day to McCain blew me away with its

insight. I think this is the exact quote -
"If the architects of a house without any doors and windows doesn't admit that this is the house they built,"said Stewart, "and continues to say, 'no, it's your fault for not being able to look into it,' then I don't understand how we move forward."
This was Brilliant and it does give you the depth of his intellect and just how Thought Full he is.

5. Your welcome! I don't know when it is going to be re-aired but there are usually

days in between and I feel everyone should watch this ASAP. While you're there, if you haven't seen it yet, please view Moyer's Buying Of The War. It is Excellent!

14. It's cool...Here's the part I'm waiting to see again...

JON STEWART: You know, one of the things that I do think government counts on is that people are busy. And it's very difficult to mobilize a busy and relatively affluent country, unless it's over really crucial-- you know, foundational issues. That come sort of sort of a tipping point.

BILL MOYERS: War? War?

JON STEWART: But war that hasn't affected us here, in the way that you would imagine a five-year war would affect a country. I think that's why they're so really — here's the disconnect. It's sort of this odd and I've always had this problem with the rationality of it. That the President says, "We are in the fight for a way of life. This is the greatest battle of our generation, and of the generations to come. "And, so what I'm going to do is you know, Iraq has to be won, or our way of life ends, and our children and our children's children all suffer. So, what I'm gonna do is send 10,000 more troops to Baghdad."

So, there's a disconnect there between — you're telling me this is fight of our generation, and you're going to increase troops by 10 percent. And that's gonna do it. I'm sure what he would like to do is send 400,000 more troops there, but he can't, because he doesn't have them. And the way to get that would be to institute a draft. And the minute you do that, suddenly the country's not so damn busy anymore. And then they really fight back, and then the whole thing falls apart. So, they have a really delicate balance to walk between keeping us relatively fearful, but not so fearful that we stop what we're doing and really examine how it is that they've been waging this.

17. I've always liked him, but my respect for Stewart skyrocketed last night

It was an excellent interview and it was a treat to see clips from The Daily Show since I no longer have cable. (Stewart's line, "Linear time is so pre-9-11" had me howling with laughter.)

This was a great exchange, too:

JON STEWART: And by the way, that was all just — that was a game, and he knew it, and the guys on the committee knew it. And for the President to come out after that and say, "Everything I saw there gave me more confidence in him," that solidified my notion that, "Oh, it's because what he expected of Gonzalez was" it's sort of like, do you remember in GOODFELLAS? When Henry Hill got arrested for the first time and Robert DeNiro met him at the courthouse and Henry Hill was really upset, 'cause he thought Robert DeNiro would be really mad at him. And DeNiro comes up to him and he gives him a $100 and he goes, "You got pinched. We all get pinched, but you did it right, you didn't say nothing."

BILL MOYERS: Gonzales said nothing.

JON STEWART: Right. And "you went up there and said nothing. You gave them no legal recourse against you, and you made yourself a smart man, a self-made man, look like an utter pinhead on national television, and you did it for me."
