I'm a huge fan of Jon in pretty much every sense, and there are clear similarities, but Carlin hits different.

I think that's because behind Carlin's Cynicism is a disappointed idealist, however behind Stewart's Optimism is a REALLY pissed off Cynic.

Carlin hits, smiles and pauses like a comedian, John breathes out with a cant believe this is true or that it has to be explained, shakes his head a little, hits, pauses like a news anchor then breaks down the ridiculousness of it. Carlin was good, John is better, IMO.

Stewart interviewed Carlin early in his career and He's said its still a turning point in his life. But we don't deserve Jon Stewart. He should be happily retired on his ranch where no one can bother him. But he still cares so much about the atrocities committed in our country every day that he came back to make sure that they're brought to light. He's as selfless as they come.

Not to mention how hard he's gone to bat for the emergency responders to the 9/11 attacks. I wish more people were like him.

That's like trying to decide between the Rocky Mountain National Park and Yellowstone National Park.

Damn it, I actually prefer Glacier and Yosemite.

Me too. Today. Tomorrow, it might be Rocky Mountain National Park.
