If anyone can get their hands on the full-length interview please post it
Stewart really tears into this guy and 6 minutes is not nearly enough

1. Be warned, however, that Golberg is an idiot and the interview is painful to watch.

Did you ever wonder what Ann Coulter would be like is she were male and dumb as a rock? Jonah Goldberg is that person.

3. I've never seen Jon Stewart dislike somebody so much. Worse than Santorum, even. Go, Jon!
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 11:51 AM by IanDB1
Why can't Jon be this hard on Dennis Miller?

I want to see the un-edited version of the interview.

This one was obviously heavily edited.

And Jon ended with, "Can we even air any of this?"

7. I have heard him go off on affirmative action and what not before. He would be a nobody if
it wasn't for riding his mother's coat tails. She is some big time GOP agent who has set him up in power positions in conservative rags all his life. He should not be allowed on TV or in print. He wouldn't be if he had had to make it on his own. I live in DC, and am always on the look out for him so I can kick him in the nuts. One of my truly least favorite shit heads on earth. Typical smug little rich boy.

4. I watched it RT last night...
The sheer number of cuts was impressive. At the end, John looked at the camera and said, "Can we air any of this?"

It was hilarious.

Peace.

5. Has anyone explained to Goldberg that Benito Mussolini
the ultimate Fascist has himself stated Facism should be called
Corporatism. Fascism is the merger of Business and the Governmet.
This conservative Ideolgy.

He needs to learn the different "Isms".
Liberals are not into Bjusinesses and Corporations running the
state.(Government)

10. Here's the condensed form of the Wikipedia entry on Goldberg:
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 12:42 PM by Buzz Clik
I've always been curious as to why the guy with nothing to say had a column carried by my newspaper. I got the impression that he got his news from Sean Hannity and his political insight from Mallard Fillmore.

Goldberg graduated from Goucher College in 1991. His was the first class at Goucher to admit men....

Goldberg's career as a pundit was launched following his mother Lucianne Goldberg's role in the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, when he wrote about the "media siege" on his mother's apartment in the New Yorker.

Goldberg has spoken of his mother and the Lewinsky scandal:

    "My mother was the one who advised Linda Tripp to record her conversations with Monica Lewinsky and to save the dress. I was privy to some of that stuff, and when the administration set about to destroy Lewinsky, Tripp, and my mom, I defended my mom and by extension Tripp...I have zero desire to have those arguments again. I did my bit in the trenches of Clinton's trousers."

These tapes became the focal point of the Lewinsky scandal. Jonah Goldberg was privy to the tapes and the conversations Lucianne Goldberg had with Tripp because he served as a vice president of his mother's now-defunct literary agency. When the scandal broke, Goldberg defended his mother and Tripp during the ensuing media firestorm.

uh huh.
