You can view the clip<\/a> or read the transcript here<\/a>. Stewart goes on to make fun of Tucker’s bow tie and then calls him a dick.

\nBEGALA: We have noticed.
\nSTEWART: And I wanted to — I felt that that wasn’t fair and I should come here and tell you that I don’t — it’s not so much that it’s bad, as it’s hurting America.
\nCARLSON: But in its defense…
\nSTEWART: So I wanted to come here today and say…Here’s just what I wanted to tell you guys.
\nCARLSON: Yes.
\nSTEWART: Stop.
\nSTEWART: Stop, stop, stop, stop hurting America.
\nBEGALA: OK. Now
\nSTEWART: And come work for us, because we, as the people…
\nCARLSON: How do you pay?
\nSTEWART: The people — not well.
\nBEGALA: Better than CNN, I’m sure.
\nSTEWART: But you can sleep at night.
\nSTEWART: See, the thing is, we need your help. Right now, you’re helping the politicians and the corporations. And we’re left out there to mow our lawns.
\nBEGALA: By beating up on them? You just said we’re too rough on them when they make mistakes.
\nSTEWART: No, no, no, you’re not too rough on them. You’re part of their strategies. You are partisan, what do you call it, hacks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
