That's funny as hell! I don't agree with John Stewart on everything, but you have to admire his showbiz talent (lets be honest, that's what it is). Bernie Goldberg is a highly decorated journalist, so apparently he's done something right in his career. But still, that was hilarious!

For this reason we now have a naive and inexperienced president, who was voted in partly by people who get their news from comedy shows and don't even have a basic understanding of economics.

Ehh, Jon Stewart has an advantage in any exchange, since he is just going for laughs.

Doesn't appear to bother Goldberg too much, I like his dismissive closing comment to the whole exchange:

No, there’s no big message here. No great moral of the story. Slandering the tea partiers as racists is still wrong. And implying that all liberals think Middle Americans are dopes is wrong too. But you know what, it’s not nearly as wrong — because, as I said on O’Reilly’s show, way too many liberal elites look down their noses at “ordinary” Americans. So here’s one more generalization Jon Stewart won’t like: Liberal elites think they’re not only smarter and more sophisticated than the kind of Americans who live in Kansas or Mississippi and like to bowl or eat at Red Lobster – they think they’re … better! And if you don’t believe me, just ask those libs.

What does that have to do with a show on comedy central.
And what would you call Bush? The man who started two wars on a lie.
