Interview with a gorgon
TTP loves Jon Stewart and the Daily Show, one of the only moments of sanity in a delusional media, but watching him interview Lynne Cheney was enough to boil your blood.

Stewart was clearly cowed by Wife O’ Dick, or at least acted such- and didn’t press her on her warmongering, her hypocrisy concerning gay rights, or her ludicrous statement that we haven’t been attacked since 9/11, due to those virile and steadfast leaders in the White House.
If Laura Bush came on the Daily Show, it would be unfair to slam her for her husbands actions or statements, because Laura Bush is one of those wall flower first ladies, with her little social projects, such as literacy, that everyone in the free world can agree on. But Lynne Cheney appears regularly on conservative talk shows, is a member of the American Enterprise Institute, the right wing think tank, and is as shrill a demagogue as her hideous, executive power pimpin’ husband. She is a leading cheerleader of the “Either you’re with us or you’re a terrorist” school of international- and domestic- policy.
She is our Medusa, and Stewart had a chance to behead her, at least a bit. He laid down his sword.
