Something is VERY backwards here! No wonder media people get all bent out of shape about Daily Show -- John's doing a better job than them most of the time and all he's trying to do is write jokes!

Stewart had a chance to bring up all the shady dealings of Kristol ie PNAC, Israel, etc, but he didn't. Someone should confront him on that. Colbert maybe? Secondly, Stewart wasn't even that funny. In fact I think Kristol may have gotten more laughs from the audience (mostly for his use of the word pussy- i found it offensive that both he and stewart continued to use this word for cheap laughs).

Events have proved that he has been tragically wrong on most all policy statements (a commonality with Cheney), and that he is, in effect, a war monger, a Straussian extremist and right wing propagandist. Perhaps last night's Daily Show would have been worth watching if the roles were reversed--Bill as smirking comedian and Jon as the knowledgeable guest. While a fan of Jon Stewart, I turned the show off just before Kristol appeared; Jon would challenge him for sure, but I figured that Kristol would win the night just by being invited.
