Rachel Maddow Interviews Jon Stewart

On Tuesday's Rachel Maddow Show, Rachel interviewed The Daily Show's Jon Stewart for the entire hour. It was--as expected--intriguing, enlightening and a little frustrating.  I'm a huge fan of both of them, so I really couldn't pick sides. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're on the same side, with some subtle shading on various issues.  Overall, I really enjoyed it.

Stewart is thoughtful, but almost to a fault, perhaps over-thinking some of the issues they were talking about, mostly centered around the roles of a news comedian versus a news commentator. Stewart couches his language and parses better than some politicians. Maddow is her usual self, although she does defer to Stewart a little more than she would most interview subjects.  She lets him go (and go, and go).  It wasn't a love-fest, but it wasn't Crossfire either. 



That's just part one. Much more is available at: MSNBC

I'll probably post the unedited interview when it becomes available.
