Puppets Making Crank Phone Calls

Jon Stewart was on Crossfire yesterday and mixed it up a bit with Paul Begala and especially Tucker Carlson, taking them to task for being "partisan hacks" and not fostering a real debate on their show.

Carlson then attacked Stewart and criticized him for not asking Kerry tough questions when Kerry appeared on the Daily Show two months ago, leading to this great exchange:

STEWART: It's not honest. What you do is not honest. What you do is partisan hackery. And I will tell you why I know it.

CARLSON: You had John Kerry on your show and you sniff his throne and you're accusing us of partisan hackery?

STEWART: Absolutely.

CARLSON: You've got to be kidding me. He comes on and you... (CROSSTALK)

STEWART: You're on CNN. The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls. (LAUGHTER) What is wrong with you?
