I've become a huge fan of Jon Stewart's The Daily Show. It's the best news commentary — period. That's really sad. Read this transcript.

CNN CROSSFIRE
Jon Stewart's America

STEWART:In many ways, it's funny. And I made a special effort to come on the show today, because I have privately, amongst my friends and also in occasional newspapers and television shows, mentioned this show as being bad. (LAUGHTER) BEGALA: We have noticed. STEWART: And I wanted to -- I felt that that wasn't fair and I should come here and tell you that I don't -- it's not so much that it's bad, as it's hurting America. (LAUGHTER) CARLSON: But in its defense... (CROSSTALK) STEWART: So I wanted to come here today and say... (CROSSTALK) STEWART: Here's just what I wanted to tell you guys. CARLSON: Yes. STEWART: Stop. (LAUGHTER) STEWART: Stop, stop, stop, stop hurting America.

The audience seemed to get what Jon was saying. Carlson (Jon calls him a dick during the show, and he is) and Begala didn't seem to have a clue. Maybe Begala did. Carlson is so wrapped up with himself nothing could get through. The whole show was priceless. Jon is fucking brilliant. Do not, I repeat, do not miss The Daily Show on The Comedy Channel. Best news commentary — period.
