Watch NOW: Jon Stewart b'slapping Cheney's Qaeda-Iraq Linkage

[MallRat]

most, most excellent!

[buycitgo]

1. WRT redefining torture-related activities as part of new paradigm:

"Believe me; you do NOT want that new paradigm wrapped around your NUTS!"

[buycitgo]

2. jesus.....stephen hayes, whose book Hitchens recommended last nite

on CNBC, is on

CNN said the MAIN premise of his book, that some guy from Iraq met in Singapore or somewhere over there with alQaeda reps, and established some sort of relationship in 1999, is a case of mistaken identity.

bet Jon Stewart doesn't know that....he usually lets wingnuts get away with some egregious confabulations

not going to listen to this.....anybody else?

[thebigidea]

3. always fun to watch him play stupid and make a monkey out of a neocon

[MallRat]

4. rope-a-dope... and then BAM!

Nice uppercut, Jon.

[GiovanniC]

8. HOLY EFFING SHIT!

That was masterful!

[Jim Sagle]

24. Wrong turn, Clyde! Be sure to catch the replay. Jon was gentle but brutal.

Not ALL that gentle, catually.

[buycitgo]

28. jim bob boy! where you been?

call me if you still have my number

seriously

I want some details; been googling Hayes, and not much on his new book.

did you see David Ensor nail him tonight on CNN? couldn't believe it.

Judy WHoredruff didn't seem too pleased at the evisceration, but, of course, pimped his reportage, saying that CNN is the ONLY place you'll find such excellent coverage.

right.....guess you NEVER go online, do you scarecrow

man.....this cough syrup is STRONG!

[Eric J in MN]

17. What is WRT? nt

[Jim Sagle]

5. this guy is a Moran!

with a capital M

[faithnotgreed]

34. im new here. where did "moran" start? it makes me laugh even though i dont

even know what it means exactly...
thanks for the help!

[Guaranteed]

36. This right here...

http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/images/blpic-moran.htm

The guy's famous now.

[faithnotgreed]

38. thanks! ive seen that photo on du. what was this guy protesting?

not to be missing the point but im curious if theres a tie-in to to * at all...

[SpiralHawk]

37. The Legend of "Moran"

The "True Facts" (tm) about the widespread usage of the term "moran" on DU go back to a dark, stormy night.

It was a dark, stormy night, and the moran stole the US presidency, and began driving the Ship of State (the S.S. ChimPee) steadily into the massive boulders of bankruptcy, dishonor and disinformation that were lining the shore of Moranville.

To be continued...

[merh]

6. I love Jon Stewart. He is great and that bit on Cheney & AQ, priceless.

What I love the most is that I can replay these for days and I can email them to my friends and to those RW's that insist their guys are not lying.

THANK YOU JON STEWART. WE LOVE YOU! :toast:

[wtf]

7. amazing

simply amazing!

[soleft]

9. Body blow, body blow - Winner - Stewart

I have never, NEVER seen Jon Stewart behave toward a guest like that. Holy Shit! I woke up everyone in my house.

[GiovanniC]

10. I Think I Woke Up My Whole Apartment Complex

I was applauding my television. APPLAUDING. There's no one here... I don't APPLAUD a television when I'm sitting here by myself.

I'm not gay, but if Jon Stewart was here right now I'd kiss the guy.

[GiovanniC]

11. By The Way...

After the orgy of fantastic "somebody-is-finally-saying-it and how-wonderful-yet-how-pathetic-that-it-has-to-be-Jon-Stewart" got over, there's that moron, racist, xenophobic, never-been-funny Colin Quinn right on schedule.

[thebigidea]

12. I'm tempted to start a mediocre standup career...

... just to get on Colin Quinn's show to systematically take him apart and humiliate him on a level that would cause tears.

[GiovanniC]

15. Wouldn't It Hurt

To be unfunny enough to get booked on Quinn's show?

That Jim Norton guy is like a Colin Quinn "Mini-Me". Unfunny and even tries to copy his voice and inflections. It's bizarre. Like looking up to daddy or something.

[Rooktoven]

25. He occasionally has one decent guest (the token non-idiot)

I mean, I like Laura Kightlinger, but not willing to watch CQ anymore to see her. He's had Scott Thompson, Seinfeld and Stewart on too, but I think they are token appearances to make it look like decent comics actually play his show, instead of the nightly crap-fest.

[melv]

13. he handed the author his hat...

oh man oh man that was the best interview I've ever seen!!!!!

[gbwarming]

14. He got ripped... and Jon did not plug his book at the end

That was a trouncing.

[Zinfandel]

16. Got to check it out...What time is the rerun, PST?

[xxqqqzme]

18. rerun @ 10P

2morrow morning @ 7, afternoon @ 4 (all PST). Gonna watch all the reruns. Jon ripped that guy. Jon usually plays nice, even when he disagrees w/ the guest but he just wasn't sittin' still 4 these lies. Amazing, simply amazing.

[Zinfandel]

19. It repeats at 11:00 pm PST, tonight.

(According to TV Guide) Thanks.

[GiovanniC]

20. Do NOT Miss This!

If you don't have a television, go somewhere that has it. Or get someone to tape it for you.

22. 1AM, EST, 9AM EST, next day; then 7PM next day

take your pick

making sure VCR is working

could somebody please give some more detail, in the meantime?

btw, WTF is THIS, from Hayes, seemingly trying to figure out who's lying more about Saddam/Al Qaeda:

On the separate issue, on the 9/11 question, we've never had confirmation one way or another. We did have reporting that was public, that came out shortly after the 9/11 attack, provided by the Czech government, suggesting there had been a meeting in Prague between Mohammed Atta, the lead hijacker, and a man named al-Ani (Ahmed Khalil Ibrahim Samir al-Ani), who was an Iraqi intelligence official in Prague, at the embassy there, in April of '01, prior to the 9/11 attacks. It has never been--we've never been able to collect any more information on that. That was the one that possibly tied the two together to 9/11.

oh YEAH??????? only a VIDEO of Atta at an ATM in Florida, along with phone calls, credit card receipts placing him there when he was sposed to be in Czechville. guess you FORGOT about that, right?
how do you deal with it in your screed? same way as Cheney, saying that it hasn't been proven one way or the other, sorta like the Popes' positions on Galileo, which only took, what, four hundred years for them to fess up? will it take you thugs that long?

and, can anybody make more sense than I could of the link I cite?
http://www.politrix.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=378

it would be nice if his quotes were placed so one could understand who was saying what, as he plays Cheney off vs. Powell, trying to figure out who was telling the truth

don't IGNORE this! I warn you

30. see? I meant it so much, I clicked it twice, somehow

[Woodstock]

21. Still at the bitch-slapping talk, I see.

Some things never change.

[GiovanniC]

27. Withdrawn

[buycitgo]

31. shy and?

40. Wasn't Worth It

[Peregrine]

32. Okay, did I hear Stewart correctly

He refered to Hayes' book as a pile of sh!t.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

33. You heard correctly.

I almost fell off the couch when I heard that. :)

I LOVE YOU JON STEWART AND WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES!!!!!

[Sabriel]

35. JS looking really pissed

Toward the end of the interview, he just stared down at his note cards for a whole minute, not saying anything. And no "now for your moment of Zen" after that, either. I guess he wasn't feeling very Zen-like at that point.

[SideshowScott]

39. That was an half and hour BITCHSLAP on the Bush admin by JS!!

OMG! The whole show was priceless the first part was making the case that the Bush Admin was nothing but liars and crooks and the second was a total humiliation of the man who wrote a book defending Bush and Cheney's fabled and fabricated connection between Iraq and the people who did 9/11. Ive never seen Stewert go after a guy like that and I LOVED IT! I guess JS is getting a litte sick of all the right wingers they are trying to get on the show.. I wonder who is doing that..Viacom? The head honchos at CC?
Is kinda sad that the only hard hitting press in America is the Daily Show on Comedy Central...
