comedian Jon Stewart continuing to do the media's job for them

Jon Stewart Hammers Douglas Feith Over Pre-War Propaganda
(Crooks and Liars)
---
I only saw the section of the interview that aired so far, but Stewart was definitely "on" for this interview, though he is still far more polite than some of his interviewees deserve. No one this administration is worthy of any respect any longer - if they ever were.

Feith come off completely disingenuous and somewhat pathetic while trying to defend the indefensible. He parrots the "9/11, 9/11, 9/11 changed everything" party line as well as the line that Saddam was not cooperating with the inspectors. It's not very credible if you don't have any information that hasn't already been discredited...

I only hope that when the Dems are back in power, that they do a better job of explaining their rationale for their actions that the repugs have. But, of course, the media will demand it of the Dems, unlike the repugs, who get the free ride...
