And I also agree that he is not a comic and I think he hides behind that far too often. I remember he was doing an interview with someone who was a political anarchist (there's a better term but it evades me) and Stewart kept cutting his legs out from under him as he was trying to make a point.
"Instead of having a tax-funded city department to collect garbage..."
"People don't like having garbage pile up on their lawn. Hey everybody, let's live like Oscar the Grouch. But seriously, thanks for coming."
And his guest never even got to state his stance. That's just irresponsible - no matter how he brands his show.

I agree. That doesn't change that he has done a lot of good by tearing apart some influential people. Bill Kristol and Jim Kramer are the two examples that come to mind. He's a brilliant guy.
