Stewart's Beatdown of Carlson
We listen you in fast forward
Cause we don't wanna hear that weak **** no mo'
--Kanye West
In this corner, weighing in at a scrawny 90 Pounds...Tucker Carlson:
CARLSON: Welcome back to CROSSFIRE. We're talking to Jon Stewart, who was just lecturing us on our moral inferiority.
------------------------
STEWART: How old are you?
CARLSON: Thirty-five.
STEWART: And you wear a bow tie?
And you are a partisan hack? And you lack any independence? And you manipulate public opinion? ....That goes for Begala too.
Bye-bye, Mr. Bowtie.
Jon Stewart's favorite TV talking head, Tucker Carlson, is on the outs at CNN.

The bowtie-sporting conservative pundit, whom Stewart called a "dick" and accused of spreading "partisan hackery" and "hurting America" during their now infamous exchange on Crossfire, is exiting the Cable News Network after executives opted not to offer him a new contract.

CNN has also pulled the plug on Crossfire.

Boom sha locka locka boom. You and your whole crew.

STEWART: You know, the interesting thing I have is, you have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably.
CARLSON: You need to get a job at a journalism school, I think.
STEWART: You need to go to one.
--------------------
BEGALA: Don't you have a stake in [the election] that way, as not just a citizen, but as a professional comic?
STEWART: Right, which I hold to be much more important than as a citizen.
--------------------
CARLSON: I do think you're more fun on your show. Just my opinion.
STEWART: You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.
