    Jon Stewart

    Watching Stewart on Moyers' Journal last night made me absolutely certain of something I've suspected for a while now. He is, at the core, as deadly serious a social critic as Mencken or Twain, and every bit their equal. Perhaps he didn't start that way, but he's grown into it.

    It did my heart good to hear that, like me, Moyers begins his day reading Josh Marshall, and closes it with Jon Stewart. But, truth be told, the only reason I read TPM before I read you, Glenn, is an accident of history. I bookmarked him first.
