O’Reilly vs. Stewart

February 5th, 2010

For those who missed it, Bill O’Reilly recently invited John Stewart onto his show. Better still, the entire unedited interview is available right here. The interview touched on the expected points, but also wandered into some rather revealing moments.

Most interesting to me personally:

John Stuart on the trial of KSM in NYC:

We should try him in the pit [the footprint of the WTC]

This is, simply stated, the most concise, the most balls-to-the-wall patriotic, and, as much as it pains me to say it, the most New Yorker thing I’ve ever heard Stewart say. I find it amusing that a self-described “short little Jew” has more courage regarding the trial of KSM than most Americans living hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away.

Right on, Jon. Well fucking said. Quick: somebody make this a “meme”.

Regarding the Tea Party movement:

Where was the anger back when we were spent into a 1.3 trillion deficit during the Bush Administration?

To which Bill O’Reilly shockingly replies:

It should have been there, and that was partially my fault

And just then, when I begin to consider the possibility that Bill O’Reilly might have some shred of integrity, Jon Stewart makes an even better point:

And why isn’t Fox News nicer to Ron Paul? He’s been talking about these issues for the past 8 years…

Ed Note: Ron Paul has been talking about these issues much longer than that, but in all fairness, bravo to Jon Stewart for being one of the few seemingly able to remember Ron Paul’s name.

O’Reilly’s response to this? A failed joke about a candy bar. And there it is, just in case any of you were still on-the-fence regarding Fox News’ agenda.

This is good stuff, folks. Check it out.

Now, on to the Senate.

Jim DeMint v. The Federal Reserve

December 4th, 2009

What do you think of this Jim DeMint character? I like his stance on guns and finances, but disapprove of his positions of drugs, gays, and war (Voted NO on redeploying non-essential US troops out of Iraq in 9 months).

Strange bedfellows…
