Reply #47: Did you say it was up to him? Yes, you did. [View All]

You said he "wasted" an opportunity. You're implying that he should have done better, and "better" means -- by your definition -- taking it to the level of attacking all the so-called news media. In other words, he had the responsibility for fixing all the problems.

He didn't "waste" it. He didn't step up to the plate with three runners on and no outs and let three straight hanging curves whiff right by him. Maybe he didn't hit a grand slam or even a bases-clearing double, but he didn't strike out, either.

He caught Carlson and Begala off guard. They looked like idiots. And I have a feeling they're going to look like even bigger idiots after Monday's Daily Show.

Stewart showed the kind of courage a lot more of us -- present company not excluded -- ought to have. He took the fight right to the enemy. How can you call that a "wasted" opportunity? Going on Crossfire and lambasting Blitzer would have been kind of like, uh, going to Iraq to get Osama bin Laden.
