Daily Show
Published by Panda on Wednesday, May 07, 2008 at 9:22 PMJon Stewart never ceases to amaze me. He has John McCain on his show and he asks him the following question, straight up:
"Will you take the opportunity right now to repudiate and denounce President Bush?"
To which, John McCain gets up and tries to flee the stage (as a joke).
Seriously though, I know that Stewart is a Democrat, but I don't know if I've ever seen him ask as tough of a question. To his credit, McCain artfully dodged the question by acknowledging that Bush's poll numbers suck and he'll have to run his campaign in his own way.
I will say that one of the most embarassing things that McCain said is that he views Al Qaeda as basically being transcendent evil, without any sense of individualism. Moreover, he will be "their worst nightmare." I couldn't think of a more simplistc, black and white way of thinking of the world.
Ok, back to work.
