Jon Stewart on Chris Matthews’ “Philosophy of Life”

The Daily Show host Jon Stewart takes MSNBC political analyst Chris Matthews to task for his “philosophy of life.” In his new book, Matthews argues that people can take the lessons from political campaigns to live their lives.

Stewart (jokingly?) replied, “It strikes me as fundamentally wrong. It strikes me as a self-hurt book.”

MATTHEWS: I’m listening to you…

STEWART: No, you’re not…

MATTHEWS: Of course I am, you’re trashing my book.

STEWART: I’m not trashing your book, I’m trashing your philosophy of life.

STEWART: There is nothing in this book that says, “Be good. Be competent.”

MATTHEWS: That’s not — that’s called The Bible. Its been written. [...]

STEWART: This book has been written, too. It’s called, The Prince.
