Jon Stewart på Crossfire
Jeg skammer meg over at jeg ikke har fått med meg dette før, men det er bare for bra til at jeg ikke kan linke det opp.
The Wonkette gir en fin beskrivelse av hvordan dette opplevdes på direkten (selv om sitatene ikke er helt ordrette), og her kan du se video av det hele: Jon Stewart fra The Daily Show gir en nesestyver til skumle menn med tversoversløyfer.
For deg som er for lat til å klikke på en link og laste ned litt video, her er et utdrag:

(LAUGHTER)
CARLSON: Jon, Jon, Jon, I’m sorry. I think you’re a good comedian. I think your lectures are boring.
STEWART: Yes.

CARLSON: I know. I know. I know. You’re a…
STEWART: So this is theater.
CARLSON: Now, let me just…
CARLSON: Now, come on.
STEWART: Now, listen, I’m not suggesting that you’re not a smart guy, because those are not easy to tie.
CARLSON: They’re difficult.
(LAUGHTER)
STEWART: But the thing is that this — you’re doing theater, when you should be doing debate, which would be great.
