Did everyone see Jon Stewart dissect Bernard Goldberg?
On last nights Daily Show, He did it so well.

Ass-hat was pushing his new book about the 100 people who are most screwing up. Barbara Streisand was #96, but the best part was at the end of the interview, they had a film clip of Jimmy Carter building a house for Habitat for Humanity, with a big, bold #6 over it.

2. A lot of people say Jon is too easy on conservatives, but
it was crystal clear that, while Jon was perfectly cordial, he had no respect whatsoever for anything Goldberg says, writes or stands for. A brilliant dismantling, cheerfully carried out. Pretty much where that term "rapier wit" comes from.

4. I couldn't believe he took the bait on the "n" word
I was watching it thinking "He isn't actually going to say it on TV is he?" (not that he said it in a inflammatory way at all) but after dancing around it twice he did.

17. His press agent needs the ol' heave-ho after that. Poor prepping,
not that I'm heartbroken in the least over it.

7. I was in awe. He literally killed the man with a smile on his face.

I couldn't believe he tried to say that he was unbiased too. What a geek. I'd have more respect if he just came out and accepted the fact that he hates liberals.

8. Ironic that in these upside-down times, our leaders and their watchdogs
become buffoons and we look to our buffoons to tell us what's really going on...

9. Yes it was great
That was great
and Bernie Goldberg REALLY is Stupid. In the the time I've seen him shill his books I've NEVER seen him make a coherent arguement.

It's all about violence and sex on your TV, and those dang rappers cussing on the radio is it Bernie?

Then WTF are Jimmy Carter, Barbra Streisand and Judge Roy Moore doing in the book?

Good lord. No, the truth is those dang lefties hurt your feewings, (don't ask me to explain Moore, probably just so you could say you had some conservatives), never mind what we've been called for YEARS.

Did anyone see this Benson cartoon? It's hard to read it but he's listing many incedents where the right used the words Nazi to describe us.

12. He exposed him for what he truly is
a hollow blowhard foaming at the mouth with no substance whatsoever. So he attacks celebrities who have no political power, being completely obtuse to the fact that maybe the people in power are responsible for the fucked up state of the union.

His Book in a nutshell:

duh libruls bad!
Jesus freaks good!

14. I read Bias for a class
and my head hurt at how Goldberg stretched one incident and his bitterness towards CBS for firing him into a case that media has a "lib'rul" bias.

I was walking around Borders last weeked and saw this book on the shelves. For some reason I decided to flip through it to see who he listed, no real surprises, but I was amused at his reasoning and his inclusion of Michael "Savage" Weiner and Roy Moore to try and present himself as an unbiased source.

The new set has raised the standards, if at all possible, for The Daily Show. Rob Corddry was top notch Monday and the guest was very informative. Tuesday night Colbert was at the top of his game. Last night was one of the best interviews Jon has ever performed. I thought he would just dismiss Goldberg and get on with the show but he tore him a new one with reason, Arrogant Bernie's greatest fear.

18. Use the f-bomb, hate America.
This from a man who said the only word I would NEVER, EVER use, period--twice.

Goldberg hates America, unless they buy his book pre-remaindered.
