see the end of this quote from the New York TIMES, 7/15/08: >When Mr. [Jon] Stewart on "The Daily Show" recently tried to joke about Mr. >Obama changing his position on campaign financing, for instance, he met with >such obvious resistance from the audience, he said, "You know, you're allowed >to laugh at him." Mr. Stewart said in a telephone interview on Monday, "People >have a tendency to react as far as their ideology allows them."
>Despite audience resistance, Mr. Stewart contended, his show had been able to >develop a distinctive angle on Mr. Obama. >Noting that the senator seems to emphasize the historic nature of his quest, >Mr. Stewart said, "So far, our take is that he's positioning himself to be on >a coin."< -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti." (Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
