I'm surprised he found the time amid all the Oscar prep. He seemed a little tired during the interview. The only part that surprised me (and disappointed me a little) was when he showed some vague semblance of support for McCain in the New York Times lobbyist article "scandal." I chalk it up mostly to his unfamiliarity with the situation, but in the King interview he characterized it as a private woman thing that was brought up to smear him; in reality, it was tied to a broader ethical reality regarding the treatment of lobbyists and rhetoric versus action. Regardless, though, Stewart's an absolutely awesome guy. That Jon Stewart interview was fantastic. I’m surprised he found the time amid all the Oscar prep.
