The Snarlers

The Brit's take on Jon Stewart's Fox appearance 'You are insane!' The moment comedian Jon Stewart lost his cool with Fox News host Chris Wallace The Snarler's

File this with my earlier [Send in the Clown] post. That Stewart snarl reminds me of  Bill Clinton braving an appearance with Chris Wallace (Sept 26, 2006). I have a feeling both were double-dog dared. Or, maybe they just wanted to show-off their talent by whipping a right-wing hit-man in his own ballpark?  Things start to heat up at about the 4 minute mark in this video' We have then two men, both accomplished actors, noted for a mesmerizing speaking delivery and rapier wit.  Both comfortable in their ability to think on their feet; and, I posit, looking forward to full victory props from lesser abled, adoring nutroots.  Alas, both are reduced to snarling, angry boys; frustrated by their inability to hit a change-up.  It's why Democrats boycotted (boycotted!) scheduled debates hosted by Fox.  Years and years of being coddled —  having every pitch telegraphed by sycophantic media pitchers —  have left Democrats soft, flabby,  and slow.  It's a good thing daddy owns the media playing field, because these poseurs, who can't hit a curve ball, would not otherwise be playing in the Big Show. From the transcript: CLINTON: But at least I tried. That's the difference in me and some, including all the right-wingers who are attacking me now. They ridiculed me for trying. They had eight months to try. They did not try. I tried. So I tried and failed. When I failed, I left a comprehensive anti-terror strategy and the best guy in the country, Dick Clarke, who got demoted. So you did Fox's bidding on this show. You did your nice little conservative hit job on me. What I want to know is ... WALLACE: Well, wait a minute, sir. CLINTON: No, wait. No, no ... WALLACE: I want to ask a question. You don't think that's a legitimate question? CLINTON: It was a perfectly legitimate question, but I want to know how many people in the Bush administration you asked this question of. I want to know how many people in the Bush administration you asked, "Why didn't you do anything about the Cole?" I want to know how many you asked, "Why did you fire Dick Clarke?" I want to know how many people you asked ... WALLACE: We asked — we asked ... CLINTON: I don't ... WALLACE: Do you ever watch "FOX News Sunday," sir? CLINTON: I don't believe you asked them that. WALLACE: We ask plenty of questions of ... CLINTON: You didn't ask that, did you? Tell the truth, Chris. WALLACE: About the USS Cole? CLINTON: Tell the truth, Chris.
