Many right-wingers I know can't stomach Jon Stewart, and I don't blame them for that, but I am more than happy to proclaim that I think this guy is extremely funny. Recently the little giant from New York City descended upon my own po-dunk Columbus, Ohio, where he proved out his comic genius to a devoted audience. He was hilarious from start to finish and had me slapping my knee more than once, even at the bits that ran counter to my own religious and political worldview. The man is naturally funny, a rapid-fire wit, as evidenced by his reactions...

While all this is certainly heady for Stewart and his fans, what does it mean? After all, the fair-minded viewer might find the half-hour show intermittently humorous, but he won’t detect anything “fearless” or even especially original in it. In truth, Stewart’s elevation to near-iconic status says more about those doing the elevating than about the comedian himself. His “bravery” and much-vaunted grasp of political nuance consists mostly of his embrace of every reflexive assumption shared by every litmus-tested liberal holding forth at every chic Manhattan dinner party

I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly, I'm a newbie here so go easy on me. I'm trying to identify organizations and potential financial backers for a conservative web-based program that will counter the radical left (Air America, John Stewart, Howard Stern, etc.). It'll combine facts, stats, and humor to deconstruct the nonsense the left puts out. It will appeal to a broad multi-cultural, younger audience. Can anyone suggest resources - websites, contacts, etc. to help get the ball rolling?

Dear Jon, So “America (the Book)” was named Book of the Year by Publishers Weekly. More than successful, it’s a cultural phenomenon. I had to see what the shouting’s about. If your goal was money and self-promotion, congratulations. If you had a higher goal, close but no cigar. Begin with the Foreword “by” Thos. Jefferson. Ol’ Tom was one of the greatest political thinkers in history. I’m not going to pick on deliberate falsehoods or fake quotes. Nor brevity, nor attempts at humor. Just flat-out, factual errors. You have Jefferson say “we” composed “the Declaration and the Constitution.” You credit...

STEWART: I am very familiar with what she got herself into. I have gotten myself into that with people that I know. KING: Elaborate. STEWART: Sex, isn't it? You never? How many times -- you've been married like 28 times. You never had -- come on, you've got kids! KING: Okay, yes. STEWART: Am I going to have to draw this for you? KING: No. OK.
