Jon Stewart vs. John Bolton : This could have never happened on a real news show


Michael Bolton at The Daily Show **EDITORIAL NOTE

I usually need little reasons to praise the work of Jon Stewart and the crew over at The Daily Show, even though the show has been lacking the freshness of earlier years. This lack of freshness has to do with the fact that TDS has become the Oprah Book Club of the country's punditocracy. Anybody who is anybody in Capitol Hill and who has a book to hawk will fight tooth and nail to get their 30 seconds of fame with Stewart (or Colbert, for that matter) if it means their book will sell. And even if either has called them a douchebag in past shows.

Which is why I flabbergasted by the timing of John Bolton's appearance on the show yesterday.

He had no book.

He has no project.

He came in to tell Stewart how wrong he was for thinking the current mess over at the Justice Department was a scandal at all.

Bolton went to the show to debate and put Jon Stewart in his place?

Oh. Hell. Yes!

Now that is amazing TV.

For all the Rove-built facade of his being a 'strong' chief executive, George W. Bush has been, by comparison to even hapless Jimmy Carter, the weakest, most out of touch president in modern times.

Think Dan Quayle in cowboy boots.
