Stewart came out swinging. It was a beautifully executed sneak attack, but he came out punching and punching hard. That's why Crossfire went off the air -- at least, it was a principle reason for the shows demise. Stewart:"I'm not your trained monkey."

But Brand -- god, he does a beautiful job of taking over the show. He actually teaches them how it should be done -- not that they'll take advantage of the lesson. Brand: "These are things you should be talking about. You shouldn't let your show be led by superficial stories."

I loved the way he got Mika so nervous she was stuttering. I hope Zbigniew was watching. He'd have some interesting things to say to his daughter about the show, I'm sure -- and most of them would be supportive of the things Brand was saying.

...The instant she realized what he said and what she was doing...her sphincter clamped so hard and fast it would have cut a pencil in two. She shut down for a good 6 seconds.

Usually when one of the talking heads gets pawned It takes a few minutes, She caught it right now. Mr Brand has frightening perception and clear communication skills.
