It is totally fair. Choose is mischaracterizing Stewart.

<<my biggest thing with Stewart is that I can only watch so many nights of the same thing. put up a spot on something then make the face, the same face night after night after night. again, that's me.>>

I watch Stewart and Colbert every single night. That and Bill Maher are the only three programs I never miss.

There is no one on the face of the earth I learn more from than those three. And they sure as hell are not the same over and over. In fact I have watched them get smarter and smarter, as people who know how to grow do.

They take different issues every night and then use higher levels of understanding to show their faulty logic. Like when Stewart tells Wolf blitzer right after he says: "We sure wish we could focus on the jobs issue instead of Weiner" and Stewart says

Wolf, you can-lol.

Or the way Colbert burned Bush at the reporters dinner. The single greatest and bravest act, maybe ever.

Colbert and Stewart are as good as the human species gets. There is no one better. So if they do not meaure up, then measuring up is a fantasy in ones mind.

Like Palin and Bachman and the right wing, their uptopia doesn't exist, except in their heads.

I say anyone who doesn't like them doesn't understand them. Scalia hates Stewart as well.

The numbers don't stack up in spite of his going on the offensive about it, which he did, making a point to make fun a noted site online where many women write and go to read.

What gets interesting is that if someone held up as a paragon of some sort has people of color suggest they behaving in a racist manner, perhaps even are racist (Jane whatshername) or Stewart has women who feel he is being sexist, whites come out in numbers to say nonono about Jane, or nonono about Stewart. Clearly we just much be mistaken? Perhaps we are bad people?

This is in clear contrast to your realizing that no women were involved in the discussion about burkas and it occuring to you that something was missing and taking the time to ask.

I know more and more women who are tiring of Stewart, even after defended after the incident you reference.
