 STEWART: It's not honest. What you do is not honest.  
          What you do is partisan hackery. And I will tell you why I know it. 
 CARLSON: You had John Kerry on your show and you sniff his throne  
          and you're accusing us of partisan hackery? 
 STEWART: Absolutely. 
 CARLSON: You've got to be kidding me. He comes on and you... 
 STEWART: You're on CNN! The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls. 
 STEWART: What is wrong with you? You know, the interesting thing I have is,  
          you have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably. [...]  
 CARLSON: Wait. I thought you were going to be funny. Come on. Be funny. 
 STEWART: No. No. I'm not going to be your monkey. 
 BEGALA: Go ahead. Go ahead.

 CARLSON: I do think you're more fun on your show. Just my opinion. 
 STEWART: You know what's interesting, though?  
          You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.
