Stewart, rumpled in a gray tee over a long-sleeved shirt, khaki cargo pants, black Timberland boots and a Mets cap, was sprawled in a chair with takeout coffee. Colbert, neat in a long-sleeved navy shirt, blue pants and wire-rimmed glasses, was sitting up straight next to him, holding a paper plate of fruit. They were already deep in a weighty discussion. COLBERT: If honeydew is ripe, I think it's the king of melons. STEWART: Nah, I think given the choice of melons . . . COLBERT: You'd go cantaloupe. STEWART: Oh, I don't think there's any question. The cantaloupe is far superior to the honeydew. COLBERT: No, every night I hunt for the honeydew. STEWART: The honeydew is almost a coconut; it's barely even a melon. I think you're making a huge mistake. COLBERT: No, I don't care for it. STEWART [in a stentorian announcer's voice]: Colbert and Stewart came to blows over the melon.

Stewart is more prone to mocking the media, celebrities, fashion, etal, in addition to politicians. tempus edax rerum Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Stewart Maven #169799 08/31/2007 6:36 PM Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,773 Apple Valley, CA, USA dalehileman Pooh-Bah dalehileman Pooh-Bah Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,773 Apple Valley, CA, USA Entering "sardonic humor" in OneLook's Reverse Dictionary yields a few candidates, including "wry" dalehileman Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Stewart tsuwm #169806 09/01/2007 12:42 AM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Jackie Carpal Tunnel Jackie Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Who are these guys??
