Huffington Post's Andrew Shaptur: This is an open invitation for Glenn Beck and Jon Stewart to come together on a neutral stage in New York City to debate about the future of America and its politics. Imagine: A live debate between two of the most well-known political commentators on television today. All in the name of charity. On one side sits FOX News host Glenn Beck; and on the other, comedian and Daily Show host Jon Stewart. Crazy idea? Not at all. In 1969, William F. Buckley debated Gore Vidal, and more recently, Bill Maher debated Ann Coulter in the 2009 Speaker Series. A debate between Beck and Stewart could prove to be the most exciting ideological battles we've seen in years.”
I don't think Stewart would fare well in an open forum against Beck...Stewart does well in a "controlled" environment like an interview but an open debate is probably not his strong suit.
ReplyDeleteJon Stewart could hold his own if he treated it like satire, and didn't try and pull a "Tucker" on Beck :)
ReplyDeleteYou're suggesting that someone who makes a living not taking himself seriously appear with someone who does take himself seriously and have a result that we take seriously. No thanks.
ReplyDeleteAnd years ago Bobby Riggs took on Billie Jean king in tennis in the Astrodome...It proved what?
ReplyDeleteUnless of course it is a steel cage match to the death!
ReplyDeletePut them together in a locked steel cage armed with machetes. The winner gets teabagged by Anderson Cooper.
ReplyDeleteWell, hell, maybe that would be the loser.
