[lbo-talk] 'Jon Stewart's Perfect Pitch'

[Max B. Sawicky]

I've started watching Mahr's show, and I think
it's pretty good.  He insists on balancing the
panel, but he and whoever the leftie is do a
pretty good job balancing the others.  Michael
Dyson is strong; in the last one I saw, he
pretty well flustered Annthrax.  Dennis
Miller was reduced to tossing out his one
liners rather than arguing, and reduced himself
to complimenting Dyson for being well-spoken.

Stewart is better, and so was (is?) Chris Rock.
By contrast, SNL has become embarrassing.

I think he's really funny, and the show is like the most critical 
thing on TV. I'm wondering who Carl thinks is funny, if anyone.
