Jon Stewart skewers himself for not spotting Petraeus affair
11/13/2012You're not the only one who finds Jon Stewart's fluffy "Daily Show" interview with former CIA director David Petraeus's biographer/mistress Paula Broadwell to be cringe-inducing, knowing what we now know about Petraeus and Broadwell's extra-marital relationship. Stewart himself found his journalistic instincts to be mortifyingly lacking during his January chat with the author, not to mention his push-up competition with her and her cuckolded husband. After playing snippets from the innuendo-filled interview on Monday's show, Stewart exclaimed, "I'm the worst journalist in the world! For God's sakes, the title of her book was 'All In.' She might as well have called the book 'What's Got Two Thumbs and Is Banging His Biographer?'" Might have goosed sales. [Source]
