        \_ I love how this ended up a /. story.  The ensuing discussion,
           naturally, had nothing to do with technology or any sort of
           geek topic at all.  *sigh*.  -- ilyas
           \_ Many geeks watch the daily show, and a majority of geeks
              lean left, so why the *sigh*, buddy?
              \_ Majority of geeks lean left?  url?  Incidentally, where's
                 the motd topic police when you need them?  You know, the
                 fellows who whine about how all the political discussion
                 isn't really putting the CS into CSUA.  And purge said
                 discussion sometimes.  -- ilyas
        \_ I guess I'm not familiar enough with crossfire to get it.
        \_ Prett painful to watch.  My occasional watching of the Daily Show
           will now go to never watching.
           \_ Short form of clip: "Stewart: U = teh gay." "Crossfire: I
              think you'll find that you're gay." "Stewart: It's ok for me
              to suck, I'm a comedy show. BTW. U = teh suk."
              \_ I thought he made some good points.
                 \_ Yeah.  For hosts of a debate show, they had absolutely
                    no control of the show once he started talking.  It
                    seemed like they just wanted him to be funny, while he
                    actually had issues he wanted to discuss, and could talk
                    rings around them when they kept trying to get him onto
                    their talking points.  This show just makes me respect his
                    intelligence all the more.
                    \_ My favorite bit:
                       Tucker: You should teach at a journalism school.
                       Stewart: You should go to one.
                       ...
                       Tucker: I think you're much funnier on your show.
                       Stewart: Funny I think you're just as big a dick
                       on your show as on others...
                       \_ So Stewart is a loud mouth and a rude asshole.  So
                          what?
                          \_ Point missed.  As someone much wittier than I
                             pointed out: "Begala and Carlson seem under the
                             impression that the Daily Show is a satirical
                             take on politics and politicians.... They seem
                             to be unaware that The Daily Show is a parody of
                             the news and that its mission is to make fun of
                             them."
                             \_ It's like if Rush Limbaugh had Phil Hendrie on
                                his show and tried to argue with him.
                                Hendrie's stated goal is "the death of talk
                                radio."
