the only thing that gave Stewart's appearance a lib/con flavor is the fact that Begala had the sense to keep his mouth shut for most of the interview. Carlson was condescending ("c'mon - be funny") , Stewart refused to play ("i won't be your monkey"). Stewart (the comedian) wanted to do issues...Carlson (the journalist) wanted entertainment. thats a pretty striking contrast and if you want a cross section of opinions on it, Google it - the consensus is that it was probably the most refreshing moment of the campaign season.
