Jon Stewart on Crossfire (Video)
- Again, thanks to Fark.

Ok, everything should be working now. There should be no extra line spaces, all the html should work, and there should be no world hunger... (or something).

Mr. Stewart on Crossfire (thank you once again, Fark.com). Having read the transcript and now watched the thing, it's amazing what kind of different level he's on than Begala and Carlson. They are stuck in their view of things, that they do ask the questions that need to be asked, and cannot seem to see what Jon Stewart is saying. They're content to argue about whether Kerry is right saying Bush raised health care premiums 17% (or whatever other bullshit detail is being argued) rather than debate plans on health care. It's amazing to see them with the blinders on.

just so that we're perfectly clear, Sarah Michelle NEVER appeared in any episodes of STEP BY STEP and as far as i can tell the closest thing to her being on the show is her one brief encounter with Suzzane Summers, wherein she asked her to

Your board is broken, Par. It's not letting me post my link.

All right, I've stepped up. Gimme that sweet, sweet, Irish brew...



Anyway, here's something (thanks Fark) that is both brilliant and painful at the same time. Jon Stewart was a guest on Crossfire. For those unfamiliar, this features Tucker Carlson (a.k.a. the guy with the bowtie) "on the right" and Paul Begala (a.k.a. Mr. Forehead) "on the left." Essentially they spew talking points at each other for half an hour. Stewart tries to hold them to it. Carlson tries to get on Stewart's back for not having more serious interviews. The whole interview is absurdly funny, but here's the best part:

STEWART: It's not honest. What you do is not honest. What you do is partisan hackery. And I will tell you why I know it.



CARLSON: You had John Kerry on your show and you sniff his throne and you're accusing us of partisan hackery?



STEWART: Absolutely.



CARLSON: You've got to be kidding me. He comes on and you...
[Carlson said earlier that Stewart kissed up to Kerry with questions like "How are you holding up?"]



(CROSSTALK)



STEWART: You're on CNN. The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls.





The sad thing is, neither bowtie nor forehead realized what Stewart was saying. They ended up doing exactly what he criticized them for, as he was criticizing them.

All right, I'm not sure about the details of the bet (I think a Guinness was involved, but I am unsure which way it goes...), but the official story on Step By Step (a.k.a. SBS or "The Brady Bunch for the 90s") is that Sarah Michelle Gellar was not a member of the cast. The tomboy (who I think Jere said was played by Sarah Michelle Gellar) was actually played by Christine Lakin.

Well Tay, Grand Arms could probally kick any of those mecha asses in terms of sheer firepower, but I don't think he looks very good. Granted some of those artist on MMFT don't have the best drawing skills but the ones who do totally would blow Grand Arms out of the water. I don't think he looks that good. MMFT tournament is about design and how good it looks not about who has the most weapons. That 1010 missle mecha probally couldn't touch Grand Arms though. The Giga class missles could be used to destroy a planet and I don't think that mecha is that powerful. But man its not the amount of weapons that your mecha has, its how cool it looks. I just don't think Grand Arms is cool enough.
