1. As a farewell, stirring it up, to this rock sunk thread, my stand is:

This dude sounds like a namby pamby "third way" type. If that's not enough, I'll say Jon lost me when he did the response rally to BecKKK's circus at the D.C. mall, where Jon did a why-can't-we-all-just-get-along crapfest. I knew when I saw the Mythbusters dudes there that this was supposed to be some kind of numb-your-Hippie-minds kind of thing. It crystallized Jon for me and I've seldom watched him ever since, never more than a clip.

I don't want a Faux type of choir-only approach, do not want a Lib who only tells me what I want to hear. But we are in a scorched earth political scenario, ever since LIMBOsevic made it the template, and Third Way/Moderation only means (to me) that the bad dudes WIN: We meet halfway and they will roll us over.

At the end of the interview, Mistah KURTZ said to the camera, "He still loves you, Jon," plus he offerred Jon a slot to respond. Like we can't see through *that* ploy, to get Jon on for ratings and for prestige for himself. Plus, this RUBENS dude was only with the Daily Show for two years AND now works for AOL?!1

Hookay, NOW the thread can be killed, not that it needed the help.
