*I changed the link tot he first video, so it should be the right site now*
I was first introduced to Jon Stewart when he appeared on Jay Leno. For those of you that don't know, he hosts The Daily Show on Comedy Central. Recently, he wrote a book entitled America: A Citizen's Guide to Democrazy Inaction and went on CNN's Crossfire (you know the show where they have 3 old guys and that young one with the bow tie?) to talk about it, and the upcoming election.I just downloaded and finished watching the clip, and his appearance was priceless, to say the least. He's hilarious and smart at the same time. He took the opportunity not to plug his book or his show, but instead to roast the Crossfire hosts over what he feels is harmful to America. Basically, Jon Stewart feels that Crossfire has "a responsibility to the public discourse, and [they] fail miserably". Even if you're not into the election, I strongly encourage you to watch the clip...People like him don't come along often!
