Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly have butted heads a few times. When Jonny Stew was on Bill's show, O'Reilly said the only people who watch "The Daily Show" are stoner slackers. Ouch!
Last week Bill traveled to yuppy, elitist, Starbucks drinking New York to come on Jon's show. Though I constantly wanted Jon to destroy Bill with basic reasoning, I liked his technique of letting Bill destroy himself. In part one of the interview Jon plays a series of clips calling out Bill for his fear-mongering but he doesn't really go on the attack (maybe he shows his guests a little more respect then Bill?).
They also have a great conversation about if we are a center-right country or not. This leads to a talk about the war in which Bill says Hussein isn't around to kill a half-million people anymore. Jon should have come back with the number of Iraqi civilians killed from the war (Last I check it was over a half-million). At one point Bill attributes the fact that right now a majority of Americans want out of Iraq to "they want to win". Uh, ok.
