Jon Stewart and Mike Huckabee

A reader on Andrew Sullivan's blog writes:

I think he's (Jon Stewart) the best in the business. The guy has a unique ability to tell his guests that he thinks they're slinging bullshit while still giving the impression that he's being respectful. The guy isn't a newsman; he's an entertainer. That being the case, he's not going to go berserk on a guest, as he needs to make sure that he'll still have guests tomorrow and next week. Still, he generally refuses to let a guest come on his show and utter bullshit talking points without being taken to task for it.

The interview with Huck isn't unusual; he's done this with numerous guests over the years. And it's one of the reasons I never miss his show.

I totally agree. Just watch the interview with Mike Huckabee below. With one hand he brings him in and tells him he's a great guy, and with the other he calls out all his bullshit about gay marriage and the such.
