Duly Quoted: Jon Stewart on 'Vanity Fair'

"The town was torn apart by a bitter writers strike, but I'm happy to say that the fight is over, so tonight...tonight welcome to the makeup sex. 'Course, there's still obviously some collateral damage leftover from the strike -- emotionally, economically, perhaps worst of all, the cancellation of the legendary Vanity Fair Oscar party. They said they did it out of, quote, respect for the writers. And um, oh! You know another way they could show respect for the writers? Uh, maybe one day invite some of them to the Vanity Fair Oscar party. They would enjoy it. They won't mingle, don't worry."

-Jon Stewart, in his opening monologue at the Academy Awards last night. The joke got a big laugh, and Stewart generally received better reviews for his second outing as host than he did the first time around. □
