My uber-liberal parents used to joke mordantly about the 1968 election choice between Nixon and Humphrey (my father wrote in Eldridge Cleaver).
It’s no secret that Matthews is one of our favorite whipping boys but tell me you don’t feel a tiny bit sorry for him when Stewart calls him a fascist at the end.
Was there a stopwatch running on how long it took Stewart to get to “fascist”? If we’re going to strew sophomoric epithets all over the place, I’d tack “useful idiot” on Matthews. But fascist? Hands up, people. How many of you have actually met a fascist? (Mine’s up, because I actually used to be a fairly regular customer of the infamous “soup Nazi”—before he was outed by Seinfeld.)
