A much better more concise episode, that unfortunately may well not have the audience it deserves because of last weeks misstep.
Stewart's interview was substantial and this time he was well matched. Less gratuitous easy picking cheap shots and more Gator wrestling.
He clearly made some solid and strong points and had a bullet proof position but ultimately and disappointingly failed to wrestle the gator into submission.
What was more glaring was the omission of the real elephant in the room, which was mentioned and then rushed past, military spending or as Stewart termed it 'defense'. Worse than the health industry fiasco is how much every single US tax payer spends whether they like it on not, on armed forces, military bases all over the world, and changing regimes and destabilising regions.
If you want to know why you pay so much money in taxes but see so little of it back, look no further than your biggest for profit industry. But maybe that's one hot potato that Stewart and writers aren't prepared to address. USA USA and all that. Spending more in 'defense' spending than the combined budget of the next 6 countries on the list and their borders are Canada and Mexico and a whole lot of ocean. How much defense do you really need exactly.
I think I'm getting disillusioned.
