Media Hero

Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, has just appeared on CNN's Crossfire. And, according to unnamed sources in the Kerry campaign, "He has become the king of media."

CNN has not released the official transcript. When they do, I will post it. But for now, here is my own transcript. Verbatim, to the best of my recollection:

JON STEWART: You're how old?
TUCKER CARLSON: Thirty-five.
STEWART: And you still wear a bow-tie?
CARLSON: Hey!
STEWART: I'm not saying you're stupid, because those things are hard to tie.
...
CARLSON: Don't you have a responsibility to ask tough questions?
STEWART: The show that leads in to me is puppets making crank phone calls!
...
STEWART: I'm just saying, both of you are political, y'know, hacks.
...
STEWART: You're hurting America.
TUCKER CARLSON & PAUL BEGALA: ...
STEWART: Please stop.
