The Daily Show is on fire tonight!

[tallahasseedem]

There is nothing better than when they have a wonderful show.

[Old Vet]

1. Yes it is, Big time

[AlamoDemoc]

18. ROFL Hitchens just said to Jon "Remind me where I was"

[burythehatchet]

38. you're on the daily show Chris

getting your drunk ass handed to you by Jon Stewart. You are through, loser.

[AlamoDemoc]

49. LOL...this was one of Jon's best moments...classic indeed

[AlamoDemoc]

2. Yeah..Jon is on fire tonight

Hitchens is his guest tonight...I'm waiting that discussion

[Halliburton]

3. hammer time

progress, progress, progress

[tallahasseedem]

9. I loved the musical montage.

For those who haven't seen it yet, it is a definite must-see.

[tomg]

4. No Spoilers, but

he eviscerated Bush. Hilarious (and horrifying).

[Cha]

6. "Catapulting the Propoganda"!

bush is so stupid ..he thought that was clever.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

13. "You Have To Keep Repeating Things To Catapult The Propaganda"

Sometimes he slips up and tells the truth.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

10. Mostly the horrifying thing

was having to look at all of those clips of bush. Guaranteed nightmares.

Did anyone else get the idea that Jon is suddenly getting a little more serious in his digs at the junior?

[WiseButAngrySara]

40. Yes; and thanks for clarifying the horrifying...n/t

[WiseButAngrySara]

32. Why horrifying?.........eom

[tomg]

57. Sorry I posted and ran

but I posted the hilarious (and horrifying) on a commercial break, and no time to elaborate. Just a gut reaction. But tinfoilfor2005 had it right. The repetition over and over and over.

[WiseButAngrySara]

60. Thanks; he speaks to idiots, but he is really the fool, and people are

FINALLY catching on!

[Lorien]

64. Yeah, spoilers might help those of us without cable

and slow modems actually know what everyone is so excited about!


*sigh*

[Cleita]

5. Yes, a really good start.

Mess O' Potamia is always good.

[chemenger]

12. The "Talking Points Rap" was outstanding!!!

Jon Stewart and the Daily Show writers deserve an Emmy for this Mess O' Potamia segemnt tonite!

[Armstead]

7. Oh God --- Now he's on to the Avian Flu

[stanwyck]

8. Look, Hitchens is on

oh, sorry, It was a pig. My mistake.

[peekaloo]

11. Apologize to that pig please.

:rofl:

[Cha]

21. Sadly you're right..I caught

a few words from snitchens before I couldn't stand it and slammed it off.

I thought I'd find out over here what blather he's spewing to Jon.

[Cleita]

14. Oh, darn, he is drunk!

[WiseButAngrySara]

47. Everyone always says that about him. I can't tell. Brokaw on the other

hand ALWAYS sounds drunk to me. I was never able to watch him for that reason...always slurring his words.

[Armstead]

15. Stewart's getting serious with Hitchens

[Cleita]

16. Hitchens isn't making sense and I am used to a fast British

accent.

[Cleita]

19. Sorry to post on my post but this is going fast.

Redrawing the map?
And my typing doesn't keep up.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. Hitchens has been purportedly said to have a drinking problem. Add

to that, he's drinking the kool-aid. I think he's become a neocon propagandist.

[holboz]

37. drinking problem is obvious

his demeanor reminds me so much of a middle-aged overweight former British drunkard I know. The way that he speaks reminds me of several middle-of-the-night phone calls I've received from this guy when he's had a few and he was trying to reach my husband.

[Cleita]

28. Jon has won.

He said something so brilliant and I couldn't type it but the crowd cheered.

:banghead:

[burythehatchet]

17. HAH

he blanked out!! What a marroon

[bdot]

20. I keep thinking this guy is Eddie Izzard.

I think this is all just a comedy bit.

[holboz]

23. GO JON GO...

just put that fecker in his place. ;)

[bdot]

24. Jon is "crossfiring" this guy.

He just shut him up.

[tallahasseedem]

GO JON!!!!

Stick it to him.

[KeepItReal]

30. Yeah, Jon got him

Hitchens walked into an ambush.

Sweet.

[burythehatchet]

25. Jon Stewart just schooled Hittchens

it was a thing of beauty

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

26. Jon just said it all!!!!! WOW!!!!!! Talking about needing Bush to do

away with all the talking points and platitudes and address him (us)like an adult.

[burythehatchet]

34. W O W

very satisfying

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

54. You have no idea. It felt so validating. I know that I know what the

truth is, but sometimes it feels so lonely.

[bribri16]

58. Damn It!!! Will it be re-broadcast on the east coast?

I missed it!!!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

62. It reruns at 1AM! EnJoy it! nt

[Armstead]

27. The...Best....Daily... Show.... EVER

Stawart nailed it about the war. No jokes no nuthin..

Catch the reruns

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

35. Jon often has the habit of very quietly rebutting. Not tonight! He was

loud and firm!!!! This show went faster than any other Daily Show I've seen before.

[KeepItReal]

48. Hitchens didn't warrant the deference that Jon showed Trent Lott

for instance, I guess.

Good.

Hitchens talked so much sh*t *before* the Iraq war dissing people like Scott Ritter on a daily basis.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

52. Hitchen's became a tool for the neocon nazis at some point and

was giving their fucking talking points to Jon, and Jon called him on it!!!!

[burythehatchet]

29. that was close to walking off the set, I believe

[LSU_Subversive]

55. he practically ran out as soon as he could!

[AlamoDemoc]

31. Hitchens was ridiculed tonight...man oh man !

[Cleita]

36. Oh wow, Every fertile woman in the country wants to

have Jon's baby.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

41. And even this menopausal one! Laughing! n/t

[AlamoDemoc]

42. did not tell you on my earliest tread tonight it will a good show or what?

[Frances]

44. Actually my daughter and her husband

named their son Nathaniel partly because that's what Jon Stewart named his son!

[LSU_Subversive]

56. ain't that the truth. sign me up right NOW.

[Renew Deal]

46. It's about time.

Hitchens has been running his mouth for a while now. It's about time he got a response.

[BloodyWilliam]

33. Holy CRAP.

Talking to that Hitchens tool, Jon was the most eloquent, serious, and maturely passionate I have ever seen him on any show. His... speech to Hitchens about the problems with the war and the basis of dissent against it? Jon Stewart should be the next fucking president.

The fact that he's one of the sanest, most intelligent people in the news (and at this point The Daily Show HAS to be considered more valid than any of the talking head crap on the news networks) is... it's terrible and sad.

[Cleita]

Yes, but do remember he gets away with it because

he's a fake news show.

[Zen Democrat]

59. It's a "fake" -wink wink- news show that has more truth than any other.

Remember when the show came back after the studio move and he said "I'm no longer doing fake news, I'm now the Starship Commander." Well, I believe him. Commander Stewart is leading the way.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

39. wow, i think i just heard the truth spoken

that last sentence or two john put together about transparency, platitudes and acting like adults.
fantastic.

[tallahasseedem]

43. OMG!!! The cruel summer ending...

was great. I have to stay up till 1:00 to watch the rebroadcast.

[KeepItReal]

45. Way to end a show, huh?

This show gets an Emmy.

[katamaran]

50. SOMEONE please type up Jon's rant!!!!

It was beautiful.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

51. What was Hitchen's last remark?

Did he say "It was different?" I was losing my satellite but I thought that's what he said.

[Ken065]

63. "It's been real."

as he rapidly exited the set.

[kentuck]

53. Yep. It was excellent !

I have never seen Jon Stewart so serious with a guest...

[RSchewe]

61. El Borracho sure didn't expect that.

At the end he said "It was real.." as if to say, "you got that one". At least that was my sense.
