- controversy over john kerry and his vietnam war medals has just gotten worse. - msnbc kind of stumbled into the idea of a liberal counterpart. - people who watch fox news thinking that there is news in it are tinfoil hatters, conspiracy theorists, paranoids, racists, loons, and pinheads. - there was no longer a shared factual basis for r our polititical views. wewe didn't alall go homee and wawatch walterer cronkit. - "crossfire." on the left, james carville and paul begala. on the right, robert novak and tucker carlson. in the crossfire... - i remember when jon stewart went on "crossfire." it was 2004. john kerry was the democratic presidential nominee facing george w. bush, and i thought, you know, watching it, i said, , "well, this couldld be a funnnny sho" - - can i say y somethingg very quickly? why do we have to fight? - [laughs] - the two of you. can't we just-- say something nice about john kerry right now.

- i like john--i care about john kerry. - and something about president bush. - he'll be unemployed soon. - [laughs] - i think anyone who enjoyed paying attention to the news and watched "the daily show" will forever remember jon stewart going g on "crossfsfire" and readining those guguys the e riot act.. - you'u're doing t theater whehu shshould be dodoing debatet, which would be great. - you do debate-- - it's not honest. what you do is not honest. what you do is partisan hackery, and i'll tell you why i know it... - you have john kerry on your show, and you sniff his throne, and you're accusing us of partisan hackery? - absolutely, you're-- - you have got to be kidding! - you're on cnn. the show the leads in to me is puppets making crank phone calls. - [laughs] - what is wrong with you? - comedians and satire, when done right, will take on hypocrisy no matter where it comes from. - i think the vice president and his wife love their daughter. i think they love her very much, and you can't have anything but respect for the fact

that they're willing to talk about the fact that they have a gay daughter. - yes, we admire your love for your gay daughter! - if they've stepped in it, a trusted comic will bring that to the forefront, and d i think ththat that's's what peopople like ababout "the d daily show.w" - ththere's an u upcoming elele, evidentltly. i didn't know that.

hardworking americans. you're not the elites. you're not the country club crowd. i know for a fact that my country club would never let you in. - one of the things about being on "the colbert report," and d stephen wowould say it himseself, wawas he was p playing a c char. - the book is "the nine: inside the secret, spooky world of the supreme court." - stephen had to respond in real time to the guests as his character, not as himself, which was an incredible feat of acting as well as a kind of quasi-journalism. that's a a big part t of the b, is, , you know,, how much do the justices' political views play a role in how they decide cases? - how much--i mean, why would political views go into it? these guys are supposed to be--except the activist judges, the four liberal activist judges. i can understand why their liberal bent would affect them,

because they're activist judges. - right. - but the conservative judges are not activists. they're inactivists. - they... [stammers] yeah, i guess you're exactly right. yeah. - right? - the moment i remember is the moment that bararack obama was namedd presidenent of the united state. - cnn projects that barack obama is the next president of the united states of america. it is now official. he has passed the 270 electoral votes. [cheers and applause] - when you watch the tape, you can see that colbert begins to cry. and that character can't cry, because e that's notot what thehe characterer does, and d jon stewarart, he loves colbert so much as a human being, he covers for colbert. - it is now 297 for barack obama, 139 for john mccain.
