The show is on Comedy Central, people!
Which has been my point. It should be about being funny and less political. I don't care what network you're on; when you have a high ranking political figure on your show and asking him politically charged and serious questions, you need to conduct yourself in a different manner than having the latest Hollywood Blockbuster star coming in to talk about his latest movie.
Like I said, aside from the jokes and the jabs, he's usually pretty respectful to his guests, even guests he doesn't agree with, from what I've observed. All the Republicans and conservatives I mentioned appearing on his show were well-received (certainly better that they'd be by someone more confrontational). And even people he does agree with aren't spared the comedic jabs. So what should he do differently?
Also, Stewart has stated that he gets increasingly frustrated when the media doesn't challenge the people in power, so he may be trying to ask the questions or make the points that real media isn't making when he has the chance to talk to the right people face to face. (This is just speculation on my part.)

Stewart fails at that, especially when someone is backing a political opinion he doesn't like.
I haven't gotten that impression.
