Jon Stewart doesn’t do many interviews; he was recently (last Thursday) on the Rachel Maddow Show: watch the whole 50 minute uncut interview here, it’s really a very thoughtful and intelligent conversation.
Not much of that out there these days.

Jon Stewart Reminds Me Why I’m Not a Democrat
Here is last night’s hilarious first segment of the Daily Show; Jon Stewart uses today’s Massachusetts election for Senator as a launching pad for an all-out assault on the Democratic Party. They deserve every comedic salvo.

Jon Stewart As Glenn Beck: A Daily Show Gem
As a complete blogging amateur, I’m already guilty of my first broken link the last time I gushed like a school-girl re: Jon Stewart. But, as my non-existent Jewish grandmother would say about the comedian, “what is there not to love?” and I feel impelled to share his latest bit of genius. Jon Stewart is not just really funny; he’s an honorable newsperson. And he’s a bleeping comedian. While he would probably cringe at this, he’s on par with Bill Moyers.
Thursday night he gave a tour-de-force as Glenn Beck; it was amazing. And yes, that’s right, I used “tour-de-force” to describe….Comedy Central programming. There was a great blurb in the Huffington Post about it; hopefully, this time my attempt at link-love will pay off and you can both read about it and watch it there.
