The secularists are twittering with Jon Stewart's overwhelming victory over Bill Bennett in a "debate" regarding gay marriage. [See, for example](http://www.boingboing.net/2006/06/07/jon%5Fstewart%5Ftears%5Fop.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com) ("Steward \[sic\] made mincemeat of out neanderthal pundit Bill Bennett"). I decided to download the clip and see how bad it was.

I'm flummoxed. Stewart didn't make mincemeat out of him. Stewart didn't even "win." It was a discussion. The secularists in the audience whooped it up for Stewart on his home field, but other than that, I simply don't see the "victory" (though the "gay ceiling" comment was funny and will probably become a rallying cry in the Bay area).

If you don't understand the gay marriage debate, you might think Stewart was scoring major points, but his points have been addressed *ad nauseum*. They're nothing new. Stewart is a clever guy who plays to the camera well (better than Bennett), but this was no trouncing.
