CNBC's Erin Burnett gave an interview in Men's Health magazine entitled "8 Ways To Impress Me" which is breathtaking in its vapidity. I thought it would be enlightening to contrast her comments with those of someone who actually matters. Keep in mind, these are Burnett's actual comments. You can't make this up.
Burnett: "Any guy who can plan a trip to an exotic locale, such as Mongolia, Mozambique, or Papua New Guinea, would impress me." Mother Teresa: "If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one."
Burnett: "Family is important to me, so round-trip business-class tickets to Australia and New Zealand for my parents would earn you big points in my book." Mother Teresa: " There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste."
Burnett: "A man who recognizes the importance of my time with the girls is a keeper. A long weekend spa getaway for my sisters and me would be perfection." Mother Teresa: "Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary."

What's that thing he's carrying when he comes in? It looks like a kid's toy bugle or something. #jonstewart

To do that I'd have to be a smug-crunchie living on an organic farm in Vermont bragging about how I don't watch TV and get all my "indie" news from rinky dink anti-neoliberal websites run by Zapatista sympathizers at California liberal arts colleges.
And I really don't want to be that person. #seanhannity

Call me naive but I do believe Stewart is the real deal. Unequivocally so. I think on some level he is still incredulous over the tantric mindfuck that his show has filled the void that the "legitimate media" use to hold. What started out as a comedy show has become something else due to factors no one could have foreseen. It's like going to a Halloween party dressed as a cop and when an emergency arises being pressed into duty because the powers that be have failed to show up.
As for Hannity, the dickless wonder did what all of these fatuous shitheels do: when he is exposed as the rank hack that he is he just gives that smug shrug of his shoulders and says "Hey, what's the big deal?" Then in a brazen attempt to embarrass the people that have exposed him, he thanks them for watching, as if that was the plan all along.
In antiquity he would have been left on the side of a mountain and we would have rained stones own on his sorry ass.
Here's to the good old days. #seanhannity

Because the crow-eating was announced beforehand? or because Daily Show fans were watching, prepared to watch maybe for evenings on end, in the vain hope of a crow-eating?
The Daily Show sifts shows like Hannity's for gotcha and comedy nuggets so we don't have to. Life is short. I'd watch that shit if it were my job--gladly, in fact (the Daily Show can pm me with an offer)--but it's not. I'm fine with the highlights, as, I suspect, are most of the people indicted here for some weird complicity in that Hannity smugness that at least I woudn't have seen if you hadn't posted it.
Thanks, Gawker readers, for tuning in. #seanhannity
