Video: Jon Stewart’s Exclusive Lou Dobbs Extended Interview
Despite the fact Jon Stewart is a comedian, this is an extremely intelligent and enlightening conversation between Stewart and Dobbs. Dobbs discusses why he left CNN and his view of the country and what is happening. Stewart, as always, brings a bit different point of view.

Thank you for posting that interview. It ties in with something I heard on the radio today on another issue. The core of both is whether we are, as Dobbs claims, a fragile nation and thus fearful, or a strong resilient nation capable of stepping out boldly.
The guy on the radio agreed with Dobbs, but did not agree that we should be guided by our fragility.

I’m glad you liked it. I thought it was a great interview. I, too, don’t think we are a fragile nation, but I think there has been attempt to turn us into fearful people. I’ve seen a lot of macho actions and talk covering up cowards and I think that is particularly sad. I guess a good example is all the hoopla about bringing Gitmo prisoners to the U.S. for prosecution. Are we really fearful that they will somehow be a big threat? Really? We have people like Charles Manson that make the Gitmo prisoners look like bumbling school boys and somehow we have managed to keep Manson contained. I truly don’t get it.

@Sage, “I’ve seen a lot of macho actions and talk covering up cowards and I think that is particularly sad.”
In dogs its called “fear aggression”.
As for the rest – I don’t get it either.

WOW … all we need now is for Lou Dobbs to become president, and Sarah Palin VP, OR the other way around Sarah P, President and Lou Dobbs, VP and this country will be highly screwed or out in some la-la-land planet.
