Jon Stewart shows why he's a national treasure

I assume that most of you watch The Daily Show...well, daily. But if by any chance you missed last night's you owe it to yourself to look for a re-run. Stewart started out by taking on the supersition surrounding yesterday's date better than I've ever seen it done.

The rest of the show was about gay marriage; first in a desk segment with Jon (later joined by Rob Cordry) that was TDS at it's make-you-laugh-so-hard-you'll-think-you're coughing-up-blood best.

Then, a debate with the racist Bill Bennett. Crooks and Liars has a clip and partial transcript, but you'll want to see the whole thing.

Bennett Look, it's a debate about whether you think marriage is between a man and a women.

Stewart:I disagree, I think it's a debate about whether you think gay people are part of the human condition or just a random fetish.

Tell it, brother. C&L adds:

Jon always boils the debate down to it's simplest form which usually causes people like Bennett to look foolish.
