Cute, if a little long. But isn’t imitation the sincerest form of flattery?

Parody is actually bit different than imitation. And given that Beck makes parody difficult, Stewart’s degree of difficulty was especially high.

That’s actually a fair point. It is more of a parody than an imitation. And without the smugness you often get from Leibowitz. Maybe it’s the start of something good.
