1. Making fun of his appearance on O'Reilly.

Turns out Stewarts audience is smarter than O'Reilly's. O'Reilly said we were stoned slackards. Stewart said he's not giving us what we need because we really are brainy nerds.

[EST]

3. Imagine that!

"If we're evil, it is news to us".

[napi21]

7. All reporters write their responses in advance!

'cause we're lazy!

Just watch debates to see if someone swweats or sighs!

[Dudley_DUright]

6. Ed Helms

is skewering the press with a report of the debate tomorrow that he wrote yesterday from conventional wisdom talking points. Great stuff, but you have to be a stoned slacker to get the satire. :-)

8. cant wait to see sy. wish they gave him more time than the usual

slot jon gives his guests but glad just the same

[Dudley_DUright]

9. Sy on now

Jon said his book "is not funny". Oh so true on so many levels, Jon.

[faithnotgreed]

12. he has these guys pegged as well as any other

says the question is "is our democracy that fragile?" that we just all rolled over when these guys came into power

he says he cant answer that question

[ronzo]

10. He's sayin' it. n/t

[kerry-is-my-prez]

11. Whoa! he's saying that 9 people just pulled off a coup.He's surprised that

everyone rolled over and let them do it so easily.

[faithnotgreed]

13. "if bush is re elected were really in trouble"

[fearnobush]

29. The quote was small compared to the truth that was pouring out of his face

""if bush is re elected were really in trouble""

Stewarts jaw dropped, the crowd went dead silent for a split second as every viewer watching suddenly re-realized how doomed we are if these fascists continue to ruin the country.

Sy on the CIA, Stewart asks why can't the CIA just go boop and make them dissaper (Neo-Cons). Sy's says it's a very good question. He said all the Bullshit about the CIA making mistakes was all a cover, that the CIA knew Saddam had nothing, was no threat and yet the neo-con(victs)A.K.A. - the Office of Special Plans were able to quite the CIA as well as our WHORE media and congress. He eluded that 2002 was the year of coup over the rest of our government.

My question to Sy... Can the CIA break these crooks if they really wanted to? And, knowing waht we know now, why don't they?

[Kanary]

31. That is THE question, and one for which I, also, want an answer....pronto!

A big part of my own gloom is that I expected the CIA to deliver a punch, and the opportunities have come and gone.

What the heck is going on???

Kanary

[kerry-is-my-prez]

14. Wow! This is amazing.... If he gets relelected we're really in trouble.

in yrs 2002-3, we will all be shamed. he said its worse than the photos he has in his book (chain of command) of abu ghraib

[Dudley_DUright]

15. Wow!!

Sy pulled absolutely no punches in that interview. Incredible! Stay out of small planes, Sy.

[Pirate Smile]

16. Best Daily Show ever.

[Vickers]

17. Man, even Jon seemed a little blown away

[faithnotgreed]

[gbwarming]

26. Heads up for Tomorrow night post debate - Wes Clark and Giuliani nt

[Wind Dancer]

27. Great show!

My little Sy Hersh, gawd I love that man!

[milkyway]

28. Am I the only one frustrated because Stewart kept interrupting Hersh?

I was hoping Stewart would have the good sense to let Hersh finish a thought (unlike a Tweety interview I saw with Hersh). Several times Hersh would be in the middle of making an explosive and revealing charge, and Stewart would interrupt. I especially wish he would have let him continue speaking of Guantanamo, where Hersh said it was far worse than Abu Ghraib.

They guy who might be the best investigative journalist in America came on Stewart's show and said a coup has taken place in America, yet Stewart didn't even ask him who the eight or nine people were (many DUers would know, but most people wouldn't).

There are certain interviews where Stewart has to stop being the smart, funny guy and just let his guest speak, gently guiding him only when necessary. They only allot a few minutes anyway. Oh well, at least it wasn't as bad as the typical Tweety interview, which is about 75% Tweety and 25% guest.
