• CNN’s Kieran Chetry:
"First of all, Jon Stewart called the leader of the free world ‘Dude,’ which was kind of a surreal moment...”
...to which NPR's media critic David Bianculli replied:
“President Dude might have shown a little more respect…”
Should Jon Stewart Have Called the President ‘Dude?’
• Washington Post’s Dana Milbank:
Dude. The indignity of a comedy show host calling the commander in chief "dude" pretty well captured the moment for Obama.
Sure, because calling the President a Nazi, Socialist, racist, Fascist, etc. is so much more respectful.
God our media discourse is so stupid. C'mon, Democrats. Read my post from this morning about entertainment. This is what gets the media's attention. Use it.
