"There's a funny name for the place they call 'outside the beltway' - it' called America"

I just watched this great interview with Jon Stewart on Charlie Rose.



It's fascinating seeing Stewart without his persona on. He's obviously a passionate (he uses that word a lot), intelligent, thoughtful activist. I mean, you always know that he is, watching the program, but you get so used to thinking of the persona as him that it's interesting to see what's going on behind the scenes.
