Stewart spars with Bush speechwriter

Marc Thiessen appearance on "The Daily Show" turns tense

Published

It’s not often that “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart’s interviews turn truly contentious. That’s what happened when Marc Thiessen, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush who’s been in the spotlight defending the previous administration’s counterterror policies, was on the show Tuesday night.

“It’s a very selective world that you live in,” Stewart told Thiessen at one point. “And it must be very lovely to live there, but things are not so clear-cut.”

Comedy Central has posted the unedited interview, which you can watch below, in three parts.
