John StewartJonah Goldberg, author of that book that was the subject of a recent googlebomb, was the interviewee tonight on The A Daily Show. Before the interview was shown, our intrepid host, Jon Stewart (Mellencamp) warned the audience that the interview we were about to see had taken some 18 minutes, but since they had to cut it down to six minutes to fit into the show, it was going to be somewhat choppy.

He wasn’t kidding. It jumped all over the place. But what we managed to see in the mess included Stewart asking a few simple questions that simply tore Goldberg down. Way down. Why is organic produce fascist, he asked. Goldberg replied that the Fascists stressed the importance of the organic — the pure. Stewart then asked if men with mustaches were Fascists, since Hitler had one.

I’m hoping they stick the uncut interview up on the website tomorrow. I simply have to see it all the way through.

Update

If you read the comments about the interview, you’ll see that I’m far from alone in wanting to see the whole thing. Sadly, that’s not what we got, but the interview is still certainly worth watching:
