I recall the interview very clearly, and, while a Jon Stewart fan before, I remember after the show liking Tucker Carlson more than ever. Partly due to Stewart's over-the-top smugness, but mostly due to his laying the groundwork that at any time, when backed into a corner, he could always pull the ol' "we follow Crank Yankers!!" defense. Fucking weak, I thought. You can do low-brow shit, but if called on your high-brow shit, you better fucking step up.- XMASTIMEWhile I've long sorta-rolled my eyes re: Stewart on that, his thing below re: the bullshittiness of the "when young people make fun of something it must go away" meme by pointing out that FOX is still on the air is pretty awesome.
