Good Lord. Did Donald Rumsfeld play Jon Stewart like a harp or what? We watch “The Daily Show” a day late via streaming Innertubes and that shit was painful to see, like watching a mean cat play with a sick mouse. I haven’t seen a contemptuous beat-down like that since Darth Cheney flogged John Edwards in their vice-presidential debate. A bunch of us watched that one-sided pissing match at a faux Vegas beanery during Interbike and there just wasn’t enough beer and tequila to make us think the lefty was getting the job done.
Meanwhile, the price of regular unleaded shot up a dime per gallon between Monday evening and Thursday afternoon. Blending light, sweet crude with the blood of Libyan revolutionaries is apparently a pricey endeavor.

You are right. I didn’t give it a lot of thought at the time since it was also boring. Not a great night for Stewart.
Charley, I’ll cut him a little slack for being sick. And nobody can be on his best game 24/7, as anyone who reads me regularly will confirm. But still, damn. I really wanted to see Stewart light him up and piss him out. Alas, given the lack of gleeful reports in the lefty press, I kind of knew it was going to go badly.
Donald Rumsfeld may be easy to hate, but he is nobody’s fool. I wonder if this was a case of a Cat IV accidentally entering the Cat II field.
Troo dat, K. Rummy just sat there grinning, occasionally giving Stewart a casual poke with a verbal stick like he was a dumb dog in a wire kennel (or a POW in a Gitmo cage).
I’m starting to appreciate Colbert more lately. He has his shtick and sticks to it. Stewart has seemed lost a lot lately, ever since the DC rally. I suspect he’s having trouble trying to remember whether he’s a comedian, a talk-show host, a journalist, a pundit, a candidate. …
Realistically Stewart was probably told by Rumormonger’s handlers that there were only certain questions to be asked AND if he deviated from it either they were to be cut from the final broadcast, or they would end the “interview” right then and there. Otherwise what benefit does Donny Dangerous get out of it?
I’m just as glad to have missed it – I hate to concede anything to that mass-murdering madman.
