| Jon: Now, I watched the Sawyer interview. No, that's the kind of J-School bull shit that doesn't wash around here! She wasn't the only media heavyweight to get up close and personal with Dean. This weekend I went up to New Hampshire, to sit down with the once and and possibly future democratic frontrunner. | ||||||

| Howard's Thoughts: Good question, Cronkite. Certainly its going to help some. It's good to get people to get to know me. Jon: How will you control the damage done from this?

| Howard: I thought that Al Gore's endorsement was a great endorsement. Jon thoughts: Uh-oh Jon: Talk to us a little about your position on same sex marriage. Howard: We actually chose not to do gay marriage, what we did was to say that every same sex couple could have the same rights... Jon's thoughts: Mrs. Jon Dean! Mr. Howard Stewart! Howard & Jon Dean! Dr. & Mr. Jon Dean Stewart! Jon: You're also a doctor... Howard: I am! It's true that I'm a doctor. Jon: Are you a Bill Cosby doctor? Or are you a doctor-doctor? Howard: I'm a doctor-doctor in Internal Medicine. Jon: That's very interesting. If you don't mind, and I know you're obviously short on time, could you tell me what's this? (Jon lifts up his shirt) Is this normal? Howard's thoughts: This guy bruises like a grape. Jon: I know this is a bizarre way to do an interview. Howard: I can't wait to see it! When is it going on? Jon: On Monday. Jon's thoughts: After Crank Yankers...(mumbles) Howard's Thoughts: It's going to air in Michigan, Arizona, in Oklahoma, in New Mexico...keep it together, Howard, calm down. |

Howard: I find that young viewers care deeply about the environment and things like renewable energy, they care about the balanced budget, because they know--- Jon: I'm sorry Doctor, younger. Howard: They care about green grass, and they care about not spending any more money than they--- Jon: I'm sorry, younger. Howard: Um...people worry about cleanliness outside-- Jon: You know what? Can you just jiggle your keys? |
