It took me a while to hear about the Jon Stewart-Tucker Carlson fracas, but...

STEWART: You know, the interesting thing I have is, you have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably.

CARLSON: You need to get a job at a journalism school, I think.

STEWART: You need to go to one.

CARLSON: Wait. I thought you were going to be funny. Come on. Be funny.

STEWART: No. No. I'm not going to be your monkey.

[...]

CARLSON: I do think you're more fun on your show. Just my opinion.

STEWART: You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.

I think I need a cigarette now. *flick* Ahhhhh.


ETA: aprilia27 came through with a video link for us. Both our links have the transcript, but hers may be more accurate, however, given that mine is the crappy CNN insta-transcript.

I seriously need an icon that expresses the fact the *I* am the one who is going to marry Jon.

HE IS MINE, HOR.

[cellardoor28.livejournal.com]

please explain for poor ignorant brit who tucker carlson is...

[soberloki.livejournal.com]

*is sated*

Jon Stewart… mmm, intelligent political discourse with edge.

[thisfishflies.livejournal.com]

Jon is <3

[aprilia27.livejournal.com]

Tucker Carlson is a conservative political analyst for a CNN show called "Crossfire". It's meant to be a debate show but it's mostly just two men, one republican and one democrat, screaming at each other.

There's a link on this site of most of the interview, if interested:

I'm truly sorry I missed it..I bet Jon won't be invited back any time soon rofl.

[reynardine.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, that was priceless. I <3 Jon with a passion.

I agree with Rod Dreher (http://www.nationalreview.com/thecorner/04_10_10_corner-archive.asp#042755) that Mr. Stewart has been reading too much of his own press.

Jon Stewart is teh bawmb... even if his news isn't entirely 'real', most other 'journalists' live in Hiroshima.

They just need to develop coping skills. And maybe build bomb shelters.

[marcimellow.livejournal.com]

Had a friend download it and we watched it last night... was HILARIOUS!!

[redbeardjim.livejournal.com]

Was that not the shit? How many people have been wanting to say that sort of thing to a pundit's face, and here's someone with the celebrity status to actually say it.

[somewhatmoot.livejournal.com]

Wow.

[elbiesee.livejournal.com]

Holy Mary Mother of Pearl...

STEWART: No. No. I'm not going to be your monkey.

I think I'm in love.

[krazykarot.livejournal.com]

dude jon totally kicked ASS on that show. I love him.

[dreagonfli.livejournal.com]

God, it's a beautiful thing. Jon Stewart is definitely my man of the year.

[musikologie.livejournal.com]

That interview made my day. "Wait, I thought you were going to be funny...." Smackdown.

[samir1stdude.livejournal.com]

interesting. Jon has raised his own bar with me.

[blue_ant]

I just read that -- my mom had actually turned on CNN just in time to see it (and she hates Crossfire). She said Jon was just great.

I wish I could have seen it.

Awww...

[ernie-lundie.livejournal.com]

I love your icon. Is that your cat?

[bibliotech.livejournal.com]

I would beat my mother over the head with a stick for a download of this. Okay, I'd beat her over the stick for a Klondike bar, but that's not the point.

Jon--stop being so sexy, my hormones can't take it.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I think my favorite part was when Carlson tried to give him shit about his "creampuff" Kerry interview and Jon was like, "You know, if you want to take your cues from a show on COMEDY CENTRAL, be my guest." And given how Carlson kept being like, "I thought you would be funny!," you know--like, either he's a hard-hitting journalist or he's a comedian, pick one, moron. Go Jon!

aprilia27 came through for us. :)

[spiderfarmer.livejournal.com]

I've got links to the bit torrent and web downloads of the show over on my journal...also note that Crossfire has scrubbed their transcript to remove some of Jon's better comments

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

NO! How can they do that! Do they think people won't notice?

(Do you have a link to the Crossfire transcript, or is it the same one I linked to?)

[quizzicalsphinx.livejournal.com]

Jon Stewart is the Wind Beneath My Wings.

[bibliotech.livejournal.com]

So, no beating my mother over the head with a stick? Damnit.

I really have to start watching the Daily Show on a regular basis, instead of just catching it whenever.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Seriously--I watched it religiously in college, but I've consistently forgotten to turn it on for at least a couple of years, because I *suck*.

[bibliotech.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD THIS IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING I COULD HAVE IMAGINED. Jon Stewart is my new Bill Maher.

[yarha.livejournal.com]

I always thought Tucker Carlson was the guy elected to be the next conservative-pundit-wearing-a-bowtie after George Will faded from the scene. Sort of a law on Conservation of Bowtie-ness, yaknow. ;)

Gotta have one.

Yarha, Perhaps the Bowtie is Passed Down Lovingly

[azzy23.livejournal.com]

Was that not better than ice cream?! I watched that on CNN and actually snarfed soda through my nose. Thanks for posting this, I didn't know where to get it.

[azzy23.livejournal.com]

can I please please please use this icon for my occaisional political rants?

[musikologie.livejournal.com]

'Tis not mine, it was made by the fabulous anniesj. However, I belive they're free for the taking with credit. :)

[rockgeisha.livejournal.com]

Also, his trademark, if you will, is his ever-present bow tie.

[canonball13.livejournal.com]

Jon Stewart is teh sh!t. I love him, and I love the Daily Show (Lewis Black is teh bomb, too).

Tried to download, but it wouldn't let me *pitches a fit* Oh, well, I'm sure some of it will make it onto the Daily Show. The transcript was great!

[spiderfarmer.livejournal.com]

The CNN one is accurate again. I think they realized they were making themselves look bad when Media Matters et. al. started putting up the real transcript.

[spiderfarmer.livejournal.com]

You can download the video via bittorrent (http://bitflood.org:8080/?file=791b2f5d95a54d1381b85f271b51f71e73964185) here. Browser download them here (http://randomfoo.net/?p=2004_10_00_archive.inc#crossfire). Make sure to right click and save as...gods know you don't want to sit there and wait for that bad boy to load in a media player. Trust me, save it to your hard drive first.

[theendofallthat.livejournal.com]

thanks for that. I felt bad for him at the end; I think he went on there intending to take these guys to task for being assholes and was just treated with no respect whatsoever. Damn you, Begalia! Damn you, Carlson! (also: sad to see that Paul Begalia does not actually resemble the freakishly shiny Chris Kattan from those Hardball parodies on SNL.)

I cannot believe that someone linked to the National Review. Oddest. Link. Ever.

[edda.livejournal.com]

Damn, this is the first I've heard of it, mostly because I've avoided TV for the past couple of days--just too tired to bother. Crap, and look what I missed...go Jon!

[cellardoor28.livejournal.com]

thank you both. am reading the transcript now

(and fangirling jon stewart)

[tvsbruce.livejournal.com]

Just let me say, as possibly the only political conservative here who will say this, even I hate Tucker Carlson. God, what a dork.
I know none of my conservative friends who care for him either.
It's like Pat Buchanan, sometimes I'm ashamed of the people who are suppossed to be on my side.
