VIDEO: Jon Stewart hammers Bill Bennett
Sorry if this has been posted already, but this was one of Mr. Stewart's finest moments and should be seen by as many as possible.

2. Stewart rules!
Only a person with a great sense of humor could make such strong points against this absurd bigotry.

3. Yeah, I saw that
Was a little uncomfortable to watch, because that's usually not Jon's style, but it was appropriate. Glad to see someone finally call one of these "marriage-backers" out.

4. Bennett's body language said it all
His arms and hands were so tense, he looked like he wanted to come over the table and throttle Stewart. I loved Stewart's "human condition or passing fetish" comment. I did yell at the tv once, "Not exactly Russert or Tweety, uh? Welcome to reality." It was great. I told my husband, That will be all over the internet tomorrow". Do you think the RWing idiots will stop coming on the show if Stewart keeps it up? Or are they big enough whores to put up with humiliation to sell a few books. What about Coulter? Now that would be something.

6. Jon's interviewing is getting better....maybe he borrowed
some of Mr. Colbert's cahones? I love it...he's definitely changed his interview style. I just hope he can keep getting these repuke guests.

10. I watched it last night and I was cheering along with the audience.
The questions that Jon posed to Bennett were so thoughtful and full of humanity. Two things Bennett doesn't have a clue about.
