I recall it as one of the few times Stewart used the last word to totally gut a guest, something he usually is too nice to do.

Indeed. Talk about ‘way over your head’.

Is this the guy that Jon Stewart eviscerated a few years ago on TDS? I recall some guy who had just had a book published on this topic, and the day he hit TDS was the day the 9/11 Commission (I think) released its results, which totally disproved every thesis he had come on the show to flog. I recall it as one of the few times Stewart used the last word to totally gut a guest, something he usually is too nice to do.

I’m too lazy to Goggle it though. You know how it is…

Shorter McScotty: Sure, I used to be a whore, but it was the only way to hide my virginity.

It wasn’t his intellect that hobbled him. No it was his inability to lie effectively. I used to laugh at his artless attempts, sweat pouring off his body, eyes darting for the exits. When your a stupid common criminal like bush, you need a world class liar as your frontman.

A Farrago of Speciousness sounds like the sequel to A Confederacy of Dunces John Kennedy Toole never lived to write.

Of course, were it not already taken, ACoD would have made an excellent title for a book about the Bushies.

And how stupid do you have to be to claim the official stenographer for the stupidest fucking guy on earth “has done an effective job in his article of laying out a lot of those connections?”
