Washington Times: making a mockery of conservativism more often than Jon Stewart.
Speaking of Jon Stewart, I only watched him once for a few moments. I noticed that he does very exaggerated facial expressions and eye rolls — that type of thing. Then I saw Bob Beckel (Democratic strategist) on FOX the other day, being interviewed by Hannity, and I noticed that he was doing the exact same thing — very exaggerated facial expressions and eye rolls, along with fake exaggerated laughing. I don’t know what to make of it. Is that a Democratic trait?
