Let Jon Stewart Handle John King's Interviews


The HuffPo's Arianna Huffington thinks Jon Stewart would have handled the Sunday interview with Dead-Eye Dick Cheney better than CNN's John "The Schnoz" King. The Schnoz was almost obsequious in his interview with the former (Vice) President, failing to follow up on the obvious whoppers that Dead-Eye was feeding him. Whether it was about the economic mess that the Dumbya/Dead-Eye duo left to the war in Iraq and national security, the Schnoz accepted Dead-Eye's nonsense at face value. You'd think someone with a nose like his would smell something.

Jon Stewart, on the other hand, has multiple times the journalistic instinct than the Schnoz and would have given CNN viewers a riveting and thorough grilling of the former veep-weasel. Too bad it was the Schnoz and not Stewart.
