As a purely tangential point,
Jon Stewart appeared on the O'Reilly Factor on Friday. Link is to the transcript, not video, so we can't know if that little vein in O'Reilly's forehead started bulging or not. On the upside, notwithstanding Bill's noted control of interviews on his show, Stewart got O'Reilly to talk about talking puppets, and their eligibility to vote as non-felonious Florida Republicans.
Also, look for the memos on that 87% statistic. Bloggers, get your MS Word packages ready!
- JON STEWART, "THE DAILY SHOW": How are you, sir?
O'REILLY: OK. You know what's really frightening?
STEWART: Uh oh.
O'REILLY: You know what's really frightening?
STEWART: You've been reading my diary.
O'REILLY: You actually have an influence on this presidential election. That is scary.
STEWART: If that were so, that would be quite frightening.
O'REILLY: But it is. It's true. I mean, you've got stoned slackers watching your dopey show every night, OK, and they can vote.
STEWART: Yeah.
O'REILLY: You can't stop them.
STEWART: Yeah, I just don't know how motivated they would be, these stoned slackers.
O'REILLY: Yeah, it just depends if they have to go out that day.
STEWART: What am I, a Cheech and Chong movie? Stoned slackers?
O'REILLY: Come on, you do the research, you know the research on your program.
STEWART: No, we don't.
O'REILLY: Eighty-seven percent are intoxicated when they watch it. You didn't see that?
STEWART: No, I didn't realize that.
O'REILLY: Yeah, we have that there.
STEWART: We come on right after, I believe, puppets that make crank calls...
O'REILLY: Yeah.
STEWART: ... so we are, I think, the appropriate follow up...
O'REILLY: Yeah, and that's a great lead-in for you.
STEWART: It's a wonderful show, by the way.
O'REILLY: Puppets can't vote, but these dopey kids who watch you can.
STEWART: They actually can -- in Florida, they can.
O'REILLY: Puppets can vote in Florida.
STEWART: As long as they vote Republican.
O'REILLY: And they haven't committed a felony.
STEWART: And they haven't committed a felony, that's exactly right.
