Jon Stewart: One Smart Man

"Nothing from Nothing" - Billy Preston (The Kids & Me, 1974)

I'm a little slow in getting to my favorite TV shows but one show I try to stay up with is Jon Stewart's Daily Show. I find he transcends political partisanship although clearly a liberal kind of guy and he calls a spade a spade. He's less caustic than Bill Maher and avoids making his guests uncomfortable. But he makes his point. I love Jon Stewart and its too bad he's married because he's the perfect guy for my co-best friend Asia. Plus, if they did hook up, I'd get to have him over for dinner at my house. That would be cool.

So here's what's inspired me today. Recently he had Willliam Bennett on. You could tell Mr. Bennett came thinking he was going to take the wind out of Stewart's sails but nope---Jon practically eviscerated him. It was FABULOUS--factual, articulate and funny--- and I laughed so hard. You should check it out too. Comedy Central makes linking to their videos pretty difficult so you'll have to do this:

Select Daily Show - Colbert in the right upper part of the pop-up window

In the Search box type "gay marriage". The clip I'm talking about is indexed with a photo of Mr. Bennett. Click on play and enjoy. Nothing from Nothing, indeed.
