 While the transcript has yet to be posted, the Web is buzzing about the confrontational interview of Jon Stewart on Crossfire.
 
 Daily Kos provides excerpts (not in chronological order):
 
 
 "Youre as big a dick as you are on any show" - Jon Stewart to Tucker Carlson
 [...]
 
 [Stewart:] We need help from the media, so Im here to confront you
 
 [...]
 
 [Stewart:] The media is failing miserably. It is painful to watch. You have the opportunity to knock politicians off of their mark, instead you offer knee-jerk reactionary talk. PLEASE STOP!
 
 [...]
 
 [Stewart, in response to plea from Tucker to be funny:] No, I wont be your monkey
 
 [...]
 
 [Stewart:] We look to present the absurdity and theater of politics. Thank you both. I watch Crossfire every day.
 
 [...]
 
 [Stewart:] Bush says Kerry's rhetoric doesnt match his record. Well, Bush's RECORD doesnt match his record!
