This is nothing but a string of contradictions.
Actually, you're right. I felt like I was in a house of mirrors while reading it. One of the reasons for which I posted it was to see what other FReepers felt about it. Tony, who is one of my friends, and a fellow member of "Right Writers of America," appears to be truthful when he says that he finds Stewart funny. Then, he takes him apart, issue by issue.
Intriguing. I suppose it's possible to find what someone says offensive or shallow, yet find the style of delivery amusing at the same time........as I said about George Carlin. There are still some anti-establishment, liberal themes that Carlin projects which I loathe as content, but still laugh at because of his comedic talent. It is a complex topic - disliking the "what," while laughing at the "how."
