Thank you very much because I saw that late last night and encourage people to actually look at the tape of the show and what the context of what that is.
This is a comedy show. We were joking about the dilemma of Jon Stewart having criticized the Bush administration over the last 4 years. What does he do now. And we were joking back and forth.
Um, I think anyone who follows the Democratic party knows that they want America to succeed and the President Bush to succeed. Um, it 's a completely a.. a... a ... mixed conte.... a miscontext that the article from the Wall Street Journal Editorial page. (But as an American . . .' )
And I of course welcome the opportunity to rebut that.
There's nothing better the Democrats would like than to see peace in the Middle East, nonproliferation.
What I argue in the book is that the last 4 years of the Bush Administration had failed to advance those agendas and I welcome what appears to be a shift in the administration right now to take those issues on with more realistic policies.
And of course I want them to succeed.
So thank you for that question.
fortunately, nobody watches CSPAN, but all the degenerate libs watch Jan Stewart...
I think she got her it in a wringer on this one
Too little. Too late. We got it the first time.
AHAHAHAHAA........busted.
"degenerate libs...." There you go with the redundancy stuff again...
Dunces on parade.
Pretty much describes the whole party.
I must be out of the loop, but what did she say?
"Um. I think anyone who follows the Democratic party knows that they want America to succeed and the President Bush to succeed. Um..."
LOL. Oh, Brother!
Was she already scheduled to appear on C-SPAN today? Or is this a last-minute, panicked damage control appearance?
Democrats, like Soderberg, are no better than the Nazis who cheered when the Depression hit Germany. It's all about them getting power, not the good of the country.
Thanks for clearing that up, moron.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!
This is justs part of it, from a Wash. Times editorial today.
Jon Stewart smells it, too
Published March 3, 2005
The Democratic dominoes clearly are beginning to fall when Jon Stewart, the host of "The Daily Show," says, "I haven't seen results like this ever in [the Middle East]." As anyone who watches the Comedy Central "news" show knows, Mr. Stewart isn't a serious political pundit, but he is unabashedly liberal both on and off air. And since he commands a fairly large audience of mostly younger adults, he is perhaps as much an indicator of the liberal mindset as the New York Times.
His comments came during a Tuesday night interview with former Clinton aide Nancy Soderberg, who was promoting her new book, "The Superpower Myth: The Use and Misuse of American Might." Unfortunately for Mrs. Soderberg, the host spent the entire interview essentially undermining the very thesis of her book, which, as far as we can tell, criticizes the Bush doctrine of transforming the Middle East.
As a microcosm of the Democrats' dilemma, the interview proved enlightening. One such moment came when Mrs. Soderberg said, "[A]s a Democrat, you don't want anything nice to happen to the Republicans, and you don't want them to have progress. But as an American, you hope good things would happen." To which Mr. Stewart replied, "Do you think that the people of Lebanon would have had the courage of their conviction, having not seen -- not only the invasion but the election which followed [in Iraq]? It's almost as though that the Iraqi election has emboldened this crazy -- something's going on over there. I'm smelling something."
Mr. Stewart should be applauded for his intellectual honesty, as well as his obvious pride in America's accomplishments. Mrs. Soderberg, however, couldn't be deterred from her rank partisanship. Here's one of her more odious comments: "Well, there's still Iran and North Korea, don't forget. There's still hope for the rest of us ... There's always hope that this might not work." Mr. Stewart is funny -- it's his job. Mrs. Soderberg is not, which is why there's no other way to parse this other than as a desire to see America defeated for political gain -- and perhaps book sales.
Mr. Stewart is indeed "smelling something." He's smelling the birth of democracy in the Middle East. Regrettably, too many Democrats refuse to stop and smell the sweet scent of freedom.
