Haha, I'm glad it's back!

How long will the Daily Show vs. Crossfire feud go on for? And Stewart really owned every news station with his montage of clips about Mary Cheney

And Ed Koch seems to have gone crazy

STEWOWNED!

 

[sprsk]

yeah it was great how he kept taking jabs at crossfire tonight. the war is on!

 

[Lemurnator]

I don't see how Crossfire can possibly recover from such a crippling ownage.

 

[Dan]

Good stuff. I like how he called them all dicks and then they aired today's Crossfire clip for the moment of zen.

I would enjoy seeing Stewart continue on with his point in some venue, but I'm not sure that'll happen any time soon.

I think it'd be cool if a newspaper gave him a weekly column, like a journalism obudsman, where he just critiques some aspect of the last week's worth of coverage, or he can just discuss a certain issue in the journalism world. But keep it out of politics, just keep it solely on journalism where he clearly has some real passion and it's not something that's done, at least not in any mainstream medium.

Liberals boo; conservatives bomb.

Cause Liberals can smell bullshit a mile away

I didn't even hear the statement leading into the booing. What'd he say?

Liberals boo; conservatives bomb.

Thought it was funny that Koch was looking POed and Jon had to tell him he was just kidding. :lol

Koch didn't seem crazy to me. Bush's policy is realer than Kerry's repeated words targeting only Al-Quaeda. More than one terrorist group hates America, and most of all you got to cut their funding. It's just that the Bush crew makes me think of crazy zealots that won't stop even if/when wrong. Plus the fact the way they handled Iraq seems to be making terrorist recruitment even easier. BUT! I understand Koch prefering Bushy's terror policy and valuing it.

Koch said he thinks Bush will fight a more effective War on Terror because of the "Bush doctrine" whereby the United States uses preventive war to fight regimes that house terrorists. Now, the one time they've done it, as you conceded, the region became more of a breeding ground for terrorists than anything. So, I don't understand the logic behind you defending him.

Aside from that, Kerry will naturally continue what Bush has set in place, with intelligence focusing on destroying terrorist groups. He's spoken very generally about terrorism, not just specifying Al Qaeda. The difference will be that he won't do anything such as invading Iraq, though Bush won't be going to those lengths anymore either.

Is there a torrent up? Are there any dedicated Daily Show torrenters like Who's Line?

Just a small point but, wouldn't you agree that Afganastan is the first time the "Bush Doctrine" was put in effect. Afterall, Afganastan didn't attack us on 9/11.

Well, sure. Though we were speaking in terms of the next four years, and Afghanistan was unique in that it was such an incapable regime, whereas any future endeavour would be more like the challenge of Iraq. Get what I'm saying?

 

[Azih]

Plus Afghanistan was harbouring Al-Qaeda, which *did* attack the States on 9/11. So it wasn't a preventative war at all.
