I see it as a similar promotion of shouting smartasses. YMMV, and I'm not a fan of their previous collaborations. While I suppose they could be mocking the whole debate thing by participating in one, I suspect at least one, if not both of them, will be doing so unintentionally. But this is coming from a guy who is turned off by the conventions, the debates, and the general obsession with the horse race aspects of politics. It's way too much BS for me, and I don't think Stewart and O'Reilly talking in the same room cuts through it.
