NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2004 Paul & Tucker announced he was coming on and figured it would be a barrel of laughs, however John Stewart basically came on and blasted the both of them and the show for being Political-hackism that is doing a disservice to america. This was not done in a joking manner whatsoever, he really took it to them, and Paul & Tucker were kind of speechless. It was freaking hilarious. Then Tucker tried to say, "we are a debate show etc...." and Stewart said, umm it would be good if you were, but that isn't what this show is about etc........It ended with Tucker saying, "you are more funny on the Daily show" and Stewart said something about Tucker being even more of a Dick in person or something........WOW.

Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2004 Stewart's main point seemed to be how mainstream news does not "hold politicians' feet to the fire." When Tucker basically said "Well, you dont either!" Jon shot back: "My lead in is a show with puppets making crank calls!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2004 Eh, why watch Crossfire? It sucks. Sounds to me like Stewart is all "my show is comedy, so I can do whatever the fuck I want, but you have to live up to my standard" crap. If Stewart doesn't like the direction of Crossfire, don't fuckin watch it. Crybaby ass motherfucker! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Olympic Slam Report post Posted October 15, 2004 I'm with Stewart. These shows like Crossfire and Hannity and Colmes are un-freaking-watchable. There's no actual debate just dueling screaming and spinning. Fox News does this on EVERY show too. Since their gimmick is Fair and Balanced, for every issue on every show they have a Democrat robot up against a Republican robot. And nothing is ever accomplished. Its brutal. They just paint their party as Christ figures and the opposing party as the love children of Hitler and Stalin. These scream shows are turning a Diet Coke vs. Diet Pepsi election into good vs. evil. Its such a fucking joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2004 Stewart really deserves more of a mainstream voice in American politics. I agree with that because I think he has a lot of common sense, but I think he is having too much fun doing what he's doing now to take a more serious turn towards any mainstream avenues.

Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2004 Oh, I know. I'd love to see him get onto a major network, though. Â I mean, his show is easily better than any late night show on television. He blows Leno and Letterman out of the water. Â Although, he can get away with a lot more on Comedy Central than he could on a major network, so maybe that isn't a great idea. Â I don't know. I just think more people should be exposed to his show and his humor. He does, in fact, rip on both parties (contrary to some people's opinions) and he does it in a hilarious fashion. He has guests from both sides of the aisle on regularly, and he does treat both sides with respect (with the exception of some good natured roasting).

He called Carlson a dick to his face and he took it like a bitch. He even laughed it off like it didn't happen. He went on sombody elses show and told them straight up it sucks. How often do you get to see that. The CNN dolts stepped in it on this one. Its all good though. This is what happens to the news stations now that they all wanna be part of the story rather just report it. Crossfires ad rates just went to shit. Â Thanks John. Thank you.
