Apparently Jon Stewart just put in a stellar performance on Crossfire, ripping Begala and Tucker Carlson for sucking ass, wearing bow ties, etc., etc.,.
Money exchange:
CARLSON: I do think you're more fun on your show. Just my opinion.
(CROSSTALK)
CARLSON: OK, up next, Jon Stewart goes one on one with his fans...
(CROSSTALK)
STEWART: You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.
The full transcript is here. Catch the broadcast if you can.

"You're on CNN. The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls."
