Now THAT was Ownage

[champt10]

I dont know if ownage is a word, but yesterday I fought the claim that Jon Stewart owned Bolton in his interview. Today though, I can honsetly say, that Jon Stewart, with the help of that Lincoln expert, just destroyed Bolton.

[Beelzebud]

1. LOL yeah that was awesome.

[Jackpine Radical]

2. I think the correct spelling would be "pwnage." (nt)

[Scooter24]

3. is there a link to a video of the interview?

[champt10]

8. It just happened.

Watch The Daily show at 1 AM ET for the repeat.

21. Bolton interviews available on Comedy Central

First night's interview w/ John Bolton...

Followup segment with Presidential historian, and Lincoln expert, Doris Kearns Goodwin...
http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/index.jhtml?ml_video=84111

(Doris' most recent book: Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. It's title alone contradicts Bolton's spin.)

Though we may now want to put a lot of eggs in the Doris basket: 'Doris Kearns Goodwin, Liar'.

4. I was wondering if Bolton even believed the bullshit he was spewing

last night. If he went to an American school he got left waaaaay behind.

[TahitiNut]

16. Indeed. I've not even read Sandburg's 'Lincoln' and knew he was bullying and bluffing.

He's an appalling liar.

5. Good ole Doris--she worked for LBJ, years and years ago. She's a Red Sox fan! NT

[Darth_Ole]

10. Christ, Jon ripped Bolton apart like a fat kid rips apart a birthday cake...

I caught Bolton's bullshit about Lincoln last night, and I'm glad the Daily Show followed through with this bit... Leave it to the Daily Show to provide real coverage of the news...

[TahitiNut]

15. Bolton pulled his typical bullying tactic last night -- outright lying with panache and DARING Jon

... to fight back. Well, he'll need a surgeon to remove tonight's slam-dunk.

[MADem]

18. I was waiting for Jon to say "So, Mister Ambassador, tell us all about your swinging days at Plato's

Retreat--were you there for fun, or for the swell salad bar???

6. Doris Kearns Goodwin was the expert.

Pretty famous in her own right,

[Atman]

9. Not Trying

To minimize who she is. I just didnt remember her name.

[BlooInBloo]

11. I haven't seen it yet - is it bigger/smaller pwnage than Boxer/Inhofe?

[TahitiNut]

12. It'll take Bolton years to remove the basketball Jon and Doris just slam-dunked ...

... down his bloviating pie-hole.

[BlooInBloo]

14. Gotcha - Looking forward to it then!

[gmaki]

17. And I thought about that thread

While I was watching.

I agreed with you yesterday.

and I agree with you today.

[Bigmack]

19. It doesn't make any difference.

Jon handed Bolton his ass, and Jon and Doris Kearns Goodwin handed him his ass again tonite..... but .... that ass-handing will never see the light of MSM-day.

The fucking wingnuts will hear that Lincoln bullshit again and again from that weasel and believe it.

Nothing ever breaks thru.

[question everything]

20. Unbelievable!

For anyone who may have missed him yesterday, his recap was excellent. Even better than just trying to interview Bolton yesterday.
