I didn't read Tweety's book, but Stewart is right . . . Our lives shouldn't be run like campaigns

[bigtree]

Tweety on the Daily Show with his new book. . .

[Fredda Weinberg]

1. Stewart was cowering, dude

And he can't get it, which pisses Matthews no end. This could be useful infotainment.

[bigtree]

2. he took Matthews by surprise

I'll bet Matthews thought he would come on there and be treated like some kind of hero, but Stewart actually read his book . . .

[Fredda Weinberg]

13. And it was a classic bit - but Stewart was bluffing and I'm

amazed you didn't get it.

[bigtree]

17. I'm interested in Stewart's view that our lives shouldn't be run like campaigns

as opposed to the premise in the book (which Matthews affirmed) that our lives are like campaigns and are effectively managed as individual campaigns.

[Fredda Weinberg]

19. So am I, but how can someone who changed his last name

to "make it" claim to be authentic? The irony is delish.

[bigtree]

21. I think that's another issue entirely

I don't think we need to focus on the personalities to the exclusion of the subject they were discussing. Matthews seemed sincere about the premise of his book as he defended it. Stewart was similarly resolute in his rejection of that premise as he read and understood it.

4. Jon was cowering?!1 Uh, what does this post mean?!1

11. Your post (and pic) gave me a sore throat from laughing so hard. Love it! nt

[Democrat 4 Ever]

5. You keep repeating that nonsense. What in the heck do you mean?

It makes no sense at all. Stewart owned the interview from start to finish. Cowering? Funny, insightful, razor sharp, eviscerating, truthful, dead on, aggressive, and priceless but not cowering.

7. (Pssst! Fredda's tv was on mute)

:shrug:

[Fredda Weinberg]

14. You didn't see Stewart crouched to camera right? C'mon, get real

Like Matthews was gonna hit him ... it was a terrific gesture.

[Fredda Weinberg]

15. He acted like Matthews was gonna sock him - you missed it?

He held it for almost a minute at a time and I saw it twice. And you thought Stewart controlled the interview?

I'm no fan of Matthews, but in this case

Ha!

[Democrat 4 Ever]

18. Fredda - could have have some of those drugs you are on tonight? (HA!)

Fredda - could you possibly be Tweety Matthews on a mission? (HA!) Are you going incognito to pretend Jon didn't have you for lunch?(HA!)

Come on Fredda, you are among friends (HA!) - fess up - are you Tweety and just trying to do some damage control? (HA!)

[Fredda Weinberg]

20. I'm no Matthews fan - but Stewart was bulldozed in this interview

And for once, it's a worthy topic.

[Gold Metal Flake]

6. LOL! Another one!

:eyes:

[lonestarnot]

9. You just got a pancake for your head and I haven't even seen it yet.

[grasswire]

10. Can't get what?

Do tell.

[hisownpetard]

12. Um, who can't get what? Any explanation will suffice. n/t

[UTUSN]

3. Yessss!1 Jon *demolished* Tweety!!1 & all Tweety could do was to attempt to bully his way through

screeching, "This is the WORST interview! You are the WORST! The WORST!" Like repetition makes it so.

Then Tweety continued with his bullying, "You are AFRAID of this book! AFRAID! AFRAID!"


& Jon replied, "Yes, I am afraid of FASCISM!1"



So, what was Tweety's great riposte?!1 "Come on Hardball" Uh, WHY, Tweetster, to boost your pathetic ratings?!1

[kerry-is-my-prez]

8. Just like he demolished Tucker Carlson. He does NOT like pundits who spin.

n/t

[grasswire]

16. and remember what happened to Crossfire!

A bad omen for Tweety.
