Jon Stewart torches
'Crossfire' hosts

DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON - It wasn't meant to be funny, but Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show" got in a dustup with his "Crossfire" hosts yesterday that left viewers laughing.
Stewart, who is promoting a new political-humor book, surprised the talk show mavens by being deadly serious.

He went after "Crossfire" hosts Tucker Carlson and Paul Begala for turning politics into cartoonish conflict instead of illuminating issues.

"What you do is not honest. What you do is partisan hackery," Stewart said.

"I'm here to confront you. ... You have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably. ... It's hurting America," he said.

Carlson, clearly angry, replied, "Jon, I'm sorry. I think you're a good comedian. I think your lectures are boring."

He called Stewart John Kerry's "butt boy" for lobbing softball questions at the candidate on "The Daily Show."

"I thought you were going to be funny. Be funny," he told Stewart.

"I'm not going to be your monkey," Stewart replied.

After a commercial break, the sparring resumed.

Carlson: "You're more fun on your show."

Stewart: "You're as big a d--- on your show as you are on any show."

As the credits rolled, Stewart said sarcastically, "Well, that went well."
