It pains me to say this, but I'm not sure that I can continue to support Jon Stewart's career any further...The other night on "The Daily Show" he said that Harry Truman was a war criminal for dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki...

I've tried to square it with a somewhat analogous situation...Spike Lee periodically blasphemes Larry Bird, but he frequently makes good movies ("Inside Man"), so I'll cut him a modest amount of slack...but lumping Truman in with Hermann Goering is a different order of magnitude...
