		<description>&lt;i&gt;Actually, Dugger, the previous evening's repeat is in Prime time. the actual show is on at 11:00. Check your local listings.&lt;/i&gt;

Not to mention that there's no new Daily Show on Fridays.

&lt;i&gt;Stewart is a MSM bigwig.&lt;/i&gt;

Hoo-boy.
Stewart is to MSM as Miller is to funny.

		<description>Why does Dugger get to decide what criticism does and does not "count"?

You won't admit that there's more satire on Bush and the right because &lt;i&gt;there is simply more material&lt;/i&gt;.

If you're so fucking funny, show us the kind of jokes you'd tell about these Democratic ills. We already know that &lt;i&gt;The Half Hour News Hour&lt;/i&gt; fails miserably at this, but surely Dugger, arbiter of all media, can lead us to the conservative comedian whose jokes aren't just schoolyard insults with larger words.

		<description>Stewart is a MSM bigwig.  Prime time show. On every weekday night twice.  Media bigwigs who control Emmies, Grammies and Peabodies like him. salary probably around a cool $2M a year.

His major run-ins?  Strangely with conservatives:  T Carlson, McCain.  Accused of softball re Kerry.

		<description>I guess the John Stewart irony is lost on some of you nitwits. The same argument applies. He makes jokes, being irrelevant is almost a given. It hardly parallels being an irrelevant politician.

		<description>"MSM bigwigs like Stewart"

As Stewart once famously told Crossfire, "The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls."

He's a comedian doing a comedy show on a comedy network.  I don't think we can stress this enough.

		<description>Nope OW.  Criticism from the left of a liberal, doesn't count. Nor does harmless, wink-wink nudge-nudge 'criticism' of personal foibles as in Clinton's 'secretly admired by progressives' sex life.  Lets see them unload on Dems for the new culture of corruption, for Murthas ongoing stupidity and corruption, for their weaknesses in foreign policy, obsession with Bush hate, lack of moral values, etc etc.

You want see it, because the MSM bigwigs like Stewart are convinced progressives are always right.

		<description>"That would be Harry Reid's approval rating, which is what started this whole shebang. Sorry for staying on topic."

People are pissed off because he didn't end the war when they tought he should of.

Of course, what these people don't understand is George W. Bush would rather see 100,000 American troops dead than admit he is a failure.

		<description>As I &lt;a href="http://www.oliverwillis.com/2007/02/the_facts_have_.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;pointed out before&lt;/a&gt;, the Daily Show has no problem at all making fun of Democrats because... it's a COMEDY SHOW. You'll never get any of these right-wing attempts to attack Republicans because they're all about pushing an agenda first, not being FUNNY.

And for Dugger, those options will always be limited to either "Hee" or "Haw".

		<description>And of course you're wrong. He and the Daily Show target the Democrats as well as the Republicans. That's called satire. You just don't like the Republicans being targeted at all. Because you're a baby.

Not that I'm surprised that Republicans think Dennis Miller standing up and basically hurling insult after insult after venomous insult at an elected official accompanied by the most listless, off-beat canned laughter available, is funny. Most people would just call it, you know, insults.

		<description>I think Stewart is awitless liberal who deos nothing but target those left wingers feel superior to.  Its all baout the sneering and condescension.

Humor is in the eye of the beholder.  Despite the Democrats winning Congress, a snese of humor still has multiple choice options.

		<description>Did you all know that Dennis Miller swallows?
It's true!
He said so himself.
One of his jokes about President Clinton went like this:"I'm not gay...but if I were blowing the President...I'd swallow"!
I downloaded that sound file of Miller's act and posted it all over the Internet and it has since been taken down.
But hearing Miller say that let's you know about his Jeff Gannon-like relationship with Bush. Bush never has to worry about semen stains on Miller's blue sport jacket, that's for sure.
