We Need More Journalists Like This
Because good journalist isn’t afraid to put a politician’s feet to the fire.
I almost feel sorry for her. Almost.

Your use of sarcasm actually got me to watch it. Well done. Also, she makes me slightly ill. To pre-empt others:
-Jon Stewart is a comedian, he can do what he wants.
-Just because he prepared long and hard to make Jim Cramer look like an idiot doesn’t mean he has to take Pelosi seriously.
-Yes, every other journalist in the country is doing an equally terrible job of properly ripping this administration and congress to shreds.
-No, it wasn’t entertaining. It seemed like Stewart actually just wanted to let the politician talk while he didn’t make any funny jokes.
whew. I hope I missed something so that others can comment after me. I’d hate to take all of the dialogue.

I enjoyed watching Pelosi squirm. Stewart made her, the Fed, and the Treasury dept look like fools, which isn’t hard, but too few people are doing it.

you call that squirming? I recall a certain Jim Cramer squirming a whole lot more. Sure, Jon made some jokes, but he didn’t try to make Pelosi squirm in the least.
