Tongiht Stewart revealed John Stossel's enthusiastic and ill-informed libertarianism via "social hacking" and tears Stossel a new one before perfunctorily backing off before commercial, promising that after the break they'll "create a new better world for us to live in" though he and Stossel unfortunately fail to do this. Instead Stewart slams Stossel's "Greed is Good" think-piece as encouraging Enron-style cordoning-off of wealth and capital in this country. Stewart: "You're opinionated." Stossel: "Yes, I'm not one of these journalists who pretends to be objective about things - everybody has opinions, and I make my opinions known." I'm with Stossel on that point. He continues: "I try to let people know where I'm coming from in every piece." "Where ARE you coming from?" Long pause. "Well as you said I agree with the libertarians about a lot of things. I believe in a small limited government that, you know, keeps the peace, but doesn't tell us what to do all the time." "So, like an army of policemen."

i saw it as well and i think that stewart is a touch too smug

Stewart's interviewing style is getting more aggressive. It started getting like this around the elections last year, and since September he's had actual hardballers on to talk turkey, with no big "none of it matters" jokes. I like the ambition he shows, though the serious tone doesn't always work (post-WTC Stewart was understandably though disappointingly off his game). Tonight he was just pissed cause Stossel had dissed Ralph Nader at the top of the interview - "if some people have their say we'll have 10,000 Ralph Naders running the country." "Well you know Ralph is on tomorrow night actually. I'll ask him about that." They used up ALL the time on the show--no late segment, no This Just In, no Back in Black, no I on America, no Frank DeCaro or Steve Carrell--and John says to Stossel "I just have to say this, because it's my show--I'M right." The cameras pulled out and Stossel got up immediately and began walking off set. Stewart stopped him verbally (cause guests aren't supposed to get up until cameras are off, they're supposed to stay and chat as if entranced by their role in the talkshow machine), Stossel turned, a word or two was exchanged, and Stossel walked off twice as fast.

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (8 years ago) Permalink

he lays on the cutesy thing thick, but i see it as his role on the show. it's tempered pretty acutely by the TOTAL stridence of his correspondents (and their interviewees) (and Lewis Black's bitterness) (and Frank DeCaro's wet/dry vac sense of humor) (anybody want to discuss tape trading har har)

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (8 years ago) Permalink

Frank DeCaro just isn't funny. At all. You're gay, we get it! The rest of the program rocks. John Stossel proved himself to be an idiot tonight, in case nobody had caught on. Yeah, there's not much opinion in the news these days. Hello, Bill O'Riley, Limbaugh, Imus, and the thousands of other news commentators. The difference is, Stossel pretends to be a reporter and has his own agenda. How noble.

Jon Stewart, on the other hand, is one fine lookin' Jew.

Steve Colbert was huh-LARious in his early segment on the Olympic Village - "everyone here is healthy and good looking; high cheekbones and blonde hair; it's like God's own Pilates playground" and goes on to describe a super-race who will feast on the worthless others at Ragnarok under eaves of gold. "Come home soon, Steve." "I AM home, John," replies the raven-haired correspondent. Someone please stop me...

I have a friend who works at Comedy Central. At an office party she proposed to Mo Rocca and frightened him off. I've been trying to get her to sign me up as Stewart's personal lackey, but no luck yet.

"Meanwhile, in Korea, America's second front in its attempt to be Rome in the next Bible."

The writing on that show is really some of the best on TV.

They've really taken the show to another level over the past few weeks. The opening brutal tonight, taking shots at everyone in the Bush admin, Tony Blair and the American press.

The Russert interview was decent, even though Russert evaded Stewart's attempts to get him to criticize the Bush.

I just saw this. The clip of Jon Snow off Channel 4 News questioning Blair about the parallels of human rights abuses in China/Iraq was something I hadn't seen on our own news shows.

And Stewart's wide-eyed reaction to Bush's 'Rumsfeld is doing an excellent job' speech was priceless. He does that gag almost every time I see the show and it still cracks me up every time.

Jon Stewart's Commencement Address to William & Mary
http://web.wm.edu/news/index.php?id=3650

Thank you Mr. President, I had forgotten how crushingly dull these ceremonies are. Thank you.

My best to the choir. I have to say, that song never grows old for me. Whenever I hear that song, it reminds me of nothing.

I am honored to be here, I do have a confession to make before we get going that I should explain very quickly. When I am not on television, this is actually how I dress. I apologize, but there’s something very freeing about it. I congratulate the students for being able to walk even a half a mile in this non-breathable fabric in the Williamsburg heat. I am sure the environment that now exists under your robes, are the same conditions that primordial life began on this earth.

I know there were some parents that were concerned about my speech here tonight, and I want to assure you that you will not hear any language that is not common at, say, a dock workers union meeting, or Tourrett’s convention, or profanity seminar. Rest assured.

I am honored to be here and to receive this honorary doctorate. When I think back to the people that have been in this position before me from Benjamin Franklin to Queen Noor of Jordan, I can’t help but wonder what has happened to this place. Seriously, it saddens me. As a person, I am honored to get it; as an alumnus, I have to say I believe we can do better. And I believe we should. But it has always been a dream of mine to receive a doctorate and to know that today, without putting in any effort, I will. It’s incredibly gratifying. Thank you. That’s very nice of you, I appreciate it.

I’m sure my fellow doctoral graduates—who have spent so long toiling in academia, sinking into debt, sacrificing God knows how many years of what, in truth, is a piece of parchment that in truth has been so devalued by our instant gratification culture as to have been rendered meaningless—will join in congratulating me. Thank you.

But today isn’t about how my presence here devalues this fine institution. It is about you, the graduates. I’m honored to be here to congratulate you today. Today is the day you enter into the real world, and I should give you a few pointers on what it is. It’s actually not that different from the environment here. The biggest difference is you will now be paying for things, and the real world is not surrounded by three-foot brick wall. And the real world is not a restoration. If you see people in the real world making bricks out of straw and water, those people are not colonial re-enactors—they are poor. Help them. And in the real world, there is not as much candle lighting. I don’t really know what it is about this campus and candle lighting, but I wish it would stop. We only have so much wax, people.

Lets talk about the real world for a moment. We had been discussing it earlier, and I…I wanted to bring this up to you earlier about the real world, and this is I guess as good a time as any. I don’t really know to put this, so I’ll be blunt. We broke it.

Please don’t be mad. I know we were supposed to bequeath to the next generation a world better than the one we were handed. So, sorry.

I don’t know if you’ve been following the news lately, but it just kinda got away from us. Somewhere between the gold rush of easy internet profits and an arrogant sense of endless empire, we heard kind of a pinging noise, and uh, then the damn thing just died on us. So I apologize.

But here’s the good news. You fix this thing, you’re the next greatest generation, people. You do this—and I believe you can—you win this war on terror, and Tom Brokaw’s kissing your ass from here to Tikrit, let me tell ya. And even if you don’t, you’re not gonna have much trouble surpassing my generation. If you end up getting your picture taken next to a naked guy pile of enemy prisoners and don’t give the thumbs up you’ve outdid us.

We declared war on terror. We declared war on terror—it’s not even a noun, so, good luck. After we defeat it, I’m sure we’ll take on that bastard ennui.

But obviously that’s the world. What about your lives? What piece of wisdom can I impart to you about my journey that will somehow ease your transition from college back to your parents' basement?

I know some of you are nostalgic today and filled with excitement and perhaps uncertainty at what the future holds. I know six of you are trying to figure out how to make a bong out of your caps. I believe you are members of Psi U. Hey that did work, thank you for the reference.

So I thought I’d talk a little bit about my experience here at William and Mary. It was very long ago, and if you had been to William and Mary while I was here and found out that I would be the commencement speaker 20 years later, you would be somewhat surprised, and probably somewhat angry. I came to William and Mary because as a Jewish person I wanted to explore the rich tapestry of Judaica that is Southern Virginia. Imagine my surprise when I realized “The Tribe” was not what I thought it meant.

In 1980 I was 17 years old. When I moved to Williamsburg, my hall was in the basement of Yates, which combined the cheerfulness of a bomb shelter with the prison-like comfort of the group shower. As a freshman I was quite a catch. Less than five feet tall, yet my head is the same size it is now. Didn’t even really look like a head, it looked more like a container for a head. I looked like a Peanuts character. Peanuts characters had terrible acne. But what I lacked in looks I made up for with a repugnant personality.

In 1981 I lost my virginity, only to gain it back again on appeal in 1983. You could say that my one saving grace was academics where I excelled, but I did not.

And yet now I live in the rarified air of celebrity, of mega stardom. My life a series of Hollywood orgies and Kabala center brunches with the cast of Friends. At least that’s what my handlers tell me. I’m actually too valuable to live my own life and spend most of my days in a vegetable crisper to remain fake news anchor fresh.

So I know that the decisions that I made after college worked out. But at the time I didn’t know that they would. See college is not necessarily predictive of your future success. And it’s the kind of thing where the path that I chose obviously wouldn’t work for you. For one, you’re not very funny.

So how do you know what is the right path to choose to get the result that you desire? And the honest answer is this. You won’t. And accepting that greatly eases the anxiety of your life experience.

I was not exceptional here, and am not now. I was mediocre here. And I’m not saying aim low. Not everybody can wander around in an alcoholic haze and then at 40 just, you know, decide to be president. You’ve got to really work hard to try to…I was actually referring to my father.

When I left William and Mary I was shell-shocked. Because when you’re in college it’s very clear what you have to do to succeed. And I imagine here everybody knows exactly the number of credits they needed to graduate, where they had to buckle down, which introductory psychology class would pad out the schedule. You knew what you had to do to get to this college and to graduate from it. But the unfortunate, yet truly exciting thing about your life, is that there is no core curriculum. The entire place is an elective. The paths are infinite and the results uncertain. And it can be maddening to those that go here, especially here, because your strength has always been achievement. So if there’s any real advice I can give you it’s this.

College is something you complete. Life is something you experience. So don’t worry about your grade, or the results or success. Success is defined in myriad ways, and you will find it, and people will no longer be grading you, but it will come from your own internal sense of decency which I imagine, after going through the program here, is quite strong…although I’m sure downloading illegal files…but, nah, that’s a different story.

Love what you do. Get good at it. Competence is a rare commodity in this day and age. And let the chips fall where they may.

And the last thing I want to address is the idea that somehow this new generation is not as prepared for the sacrifice and the tenacity that will be needed in the difficult times ahead. I have not found this generation to be cynical or apathetic or selfish. They are as strong and as decent as any people that I have met. And I will say this, on my way down here I stopped at Bethesda Naval, and when you talk to the young kids that are there that have just been back from Iraq and Afghanistan, you don’t have the worry about the future that you hear from so many that are not a part of this generation but judging it from above.

And the other thing….that I will say is, when I spoke earlier about the world being broke, I was somewhat being facetious, because every generation has their challenge. And things change rapidly, and life gets better in an instant.

I was in New York on 9-11 when the towers came down. I lived 14 blocks from the twin towers. And when they came down, I thought that the world had ended. And I remember walking around in a daze for weeks. And Mayor Guiliani had said to the city, “You’ve got to get back to normal. We’ve got to show that things can change and get back to what they were.”

And one day I was coming out of my building, and on my stoop, was a man who was crouched over, and he appeared to be in deep thought. And as I got closer to him I realized, he was playing with himself. And that’s when I thought, “You know what, we’re gonna be OK.”

Thank you. Congratulations. I honor you. Good Night.
