Tweety To Jon Stewart: "This is the book interview from Hell! This is the worst interview ever."

[Hissyspit]

:rofl:

Watch the repeat!

[Gregorian]

1. "You're Zell Miller!"

He absolutely ripped him to pieces. It was great. I though he was going to get physical.

Phew


It just reinforced why I love Jon. I totally do not want to get "ahead". I don't impress people. I never pushed a girl for a date. I don't dress up. I quit high paying jobs to have my time to myself.

[swag]

6. "He", "him". Who is who?

Who ripped whom to pieces?

[Gregorian]

8. Tweety called him Zell Miller for being so hard on his book.

Jon was just being honest.

[Hissyspit]

9. Didn't Zell Miller challenge Tweety to a duel on air once?

[Gregorian]

12. OH! That's right.

Thanks for that.

That was better than a duel. Death by paper cuts.

[swag]

10. Thanks.

[Up2Late]

21. Jon Stewart TRASHED Chris Matthews' new book To HIS FACE!

Jon Stewart (The Daily Show on Comedy Central) Chris Matthews("Hardball with Chris Matthews" on MSNBC and "The Chris Matthews Show" on NBC)

It was a thing on beauty.

[The Backlash Cometh]

39. Oh, man. Tell Jon Stewart that I'll shine his shoes for free for a year.

What a man.

[Fredda Weinberg]

2. and Stewart now has to troll on HardBall.

Ha!

[Gold Metal Flake]

13. No, he doesn't.

Three threads, three attacks. Nice work! :hi:

[JTFrog]

36. Actually 4.

Never seen anyone with such a Tweety crush. How odd.

[wildbilln864]

3. That was great!

:rofl:

[Jane Austin]

HA!

Quoth Tweety.

[maseman]

4. HAHAHA

:rofl:

That was hysterical. Tweety didn't know what the hell happened. What a stupid concept for a book.
Don't think we'll see Matthews on The Daily Show again.

[wellstone dem]

5. That was amazing!!! nt

[NoodleyAppendage]

7. BEST SLAPDOWN EVER! Eat sh*t, Tweety. Loved it!

Stewart cut through the crap and boiled down Tweety's idiotic world-view to an artifice and shallow construction. Tweety was dominated!

J

[UTUSN]

11. Yessss!1 Jon *demolished* Tweety!!1 & all Tweety could do was to attempt to bully his way through

screeching, "This is the WORST interview! You are the WORST! The WORST!" Like repetition makes it so.

Then Tweety continued with his bullying, "You are AFRAID of this book! AFRAID! AFRAID!"


& Jon replied, "Yes, I am afraid of FASCISM!1"



So, what was Tweety's great riposte?!1 "Come on Hardball" Uh, WHY, Tweetster, to boost your pathetic ratings?!1

[Democrat 4 Ever]

15. I had already turned off the computer and gone to bed for the night.

I watched Stewart rip Tweety's head off, pluck his feathers, cut him up, toss him in some flour and "special spices" and throw his ass in some hot oil all in the span of 10 minutes. Jon deep fried Tweety's ass before Tweety even knew what hit him. I knew I had to come back into the computer. boot this puppy up and see what DU thought about the interview. Laughed my ass. Best damn TV of the month -and it is only the 2nd.

[hisownpetard]

18. Well, after reading your post, you KNOW I have to stay up till 1 am to see TDS. I'm drooling

in anticipation of seeing Tweety de-feathered by a master.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

20. Hell, I've already seen it and I'm staying up until 1 am just to watch it again!

I'm a connoisseur of classic slap downs. This one a beaut.

[hisownpetard]

25. It was great. Best part for me was when Tweety said 'You have to listen to them,' meaning

women you want to get into bed (Ugh, anyway). And Stewart said, You don't listen -
to anybody!" God, it felt good to hear that!

Jon Stewart is a national treasure. Tweety was totally pissed at being so regally and thoroughly dissed.
Hooraaaayy!

I'm gonna sleep like a baby.

[fortyfeetunder]

26. That reference to listening

I couldn't understand why Tweety was always talking about the Big Dog...it was almost as if Tweety was jealous..he probably listened like a "real politician" and he wasn't getting any as a result...

[fortyfeetunder]

22. Holy (bleep)! I can't want to see it either!

So, was this better than the "Crossfire" episode where Jon ate Tucker's lunch?
(My kid's behind me so I have to use nice words...)

[CT_Progressive]

46. I'd say it was equal.

[Stop Cornyn]

14. K & R - That was reminiscent of (but better than) Jon's smack-down of Carlson Fucker.

[Lex]

17. Oh, exactly!

Suuuh-weeeet.

[Initech]

16. Oh god - is he going to turn into Falafel O'Reilly now?

:yoiks:

[Gold Metal Flake]

19. Well, Tweety did not scream "cut his mic", but he looked like he wanted to.

If he had been holding one of his DC party cocktails, he would have thrown it at Stewart.

[pansypoo53219]

23. so, does this mean

tweety can't handle actual critical thinking skills?

i love how stewart doesn't play their game. very refreshing to see an ACTUAL interview.

[Up2Late]

24. Replay Kick

:kick:

[0rganism]

27. I liked the part where they're comparing with books already written

(paraphrasing)
Jon: What about competence and being good? Aren't they important too?
Tweety: That's the Bible, it's already been written.
Jon: Your book has already been written too, it's called "The Prince".

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

48. ...at which point Tweety said, "Yeah, but mine is better." What an ass! nt

[ConsAreLiars]

28. That was brilliant work by Jon Stewart.

He went straight to the opportunist, Machiavellian, fascist core of Tweety's world view and called him on it. Truly insightful.

[Skittles]

29. can someone please tell me

what is the book and what is the book about?

[Disturbed]

30. Live your life like a politician campaigning.

Translation: Be fuckin' phony, like Tweety.

The funniest line from Tweety is that it is important to listen. Yeah, like he does on his smerfball show. Right.

Stewart, trashed him with humor.

[Riktor]

35. "Do you give a concession speech when it's time to die?"

Man, the funniest part was watching Tweety try to conceal his rage behind a fake smile and a fake laugh. They went well with a fake news program (uh, Jon's, not Tweety's).

[book_worm]

31. I've noticed Keith Olbermann plug Stewart's book on his show

but then it's probably just professional courtesy since he was having Tweety on as a guest.

[Jacobin]

32. Link to video?

[Lasher]

33. Video clip here:

[CGowen]

34. thanks, the video on the comedycentral site didn't work for me and had only 32 views

http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/index.jhtml

[Lasher]

43. Jon was pretty brutal, hun?

I can't think about Tweety without being reminded how he obsessed over Junior's crotch during the 'mission accomplished' fiasco on May 1, 2003.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=post&forum=389&topic_id=1963736&mesg_id=1964622

And when he said a year and a half later that the knucklehead "glimmers" with a "kind of sunny nobility," I just totally wrote him off as someone with some real serious issues.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

37. Thanks! I fell asleep just before Matthews came on. eom

[IndyOp]

42. Hey, Ommmm....

I like the link in your sig line. Don't tell anyone, though...

;-)

And, the kitties are gorgeous!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

45. Indy Op!

I thank you and Amy and Charlie thank you!

Great cartoon!

:hi:

[PCIntern]

38. Tweety was scared to death...

one of the reasons he's making fun of Hillary's 'cackle' is that he has his own brand of stupid laugh to disguise his extreme anxiety.

Creep...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

40. This was probably one of the best interviews I've ever seen by Jon. It gave great

insight into Matthews and why so people here, my self-included, just don't trust what he has to say. Live your life like a politician? Geeze....

Jon was totally brilliant.

[Senator]

41. Chris Matthews -IS- The DC/Euphemedia Analstocracy

Watch the video multiple times to truly appreciate the dynamic going on.

Matthews has apparently revealed himself in his book to really be the soulless, inhuman functional sociopath that we usually only associate with some idealized, pessimistic view of the craven, cynical "beltway insider."

Stewart was simply probing for some evidence of human life inside that automaton shell. To his own obvious (and pathetically hilarious) horror, he came up empty.

This is the mentality required to keep impeachment "off the table," to tolerate ongoing torture, to ignore stolen elections, and to limit accountability to a "tsk, tsk" in the WashedUp Post.

We must keep hammering the DC Dems back to consciousness. They have the same disease.

===

[K8-EEE]

44. What a stupid fucking "idea" for a book

"When you want someone to hire you or marry you, aren't you on a 'campaign'?"

No, you idiot, the rest of us are just living life, tools like you are living a "campaign," which is to say, all BS all the time.

Remember his gushy GWB quotes after the invasion? I guess that was part of the "Chris Matthews Campaign."

Who needs it? What good is he?

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

47. 10 am replay on now

best line for me was "i don't troll" when tweety asked him to come on his show.

[Kurovski]

49. Tweety actually seemed kind of nutty.

Or nuttier than usual.
