Daily Show Video: Jon Stewart with Rod Blagojevich -- Aired Aug. 23, 2010
Outstanding interview. Best I've ever seen with Blago. Stewart is combative and righteous. Make sure you hear the FBI tape at the 5:50 mark of part 1. Parts 1 & 2 are inside. Heads up -- This is the uncensored version so there is some profanity.

Jon Stewart had former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich on his show last night, and questioned him about the decision not to testify in his corruption trial.
- "There is not a person in the world that I believe could get you to pipe down," Stewart said. "Here's what concerns me. I would like to see you as a Dickens character. I would like to see you as a victim. But you make it so hard."
Stewart added:
- "You're a guy who's the most adamant about his innocence that I have ever met. So, like I say, you're either the victim of a terrible persecution, or you're a sociopath. I want to believe that you're not a sociopath."
