Stewart's inner dick

Alternet.org
September 07, 2005

While most will likely focus on Jon Stewart's very funny takedown of the president -- see Peek for the best punch line of the night -- but I'm not letting him off the hook for what is the second instance of dick-like behavior this season:

"And I will say this, Hurricane Katrina is George Bush's Monica Lewinsky. One difference, and I'll say this, the only difference is this: That tens of thousands of people weren't stranded in Monica Lewinsky's vagina. That is the only difference."

Yuck! Since one wanker deserves another, here's my Bill O' Reilly-inspired response: "I have two words for you -- shut up."

Oh, and no, Dennis Miller isn't a role model.
