I'm just starting to understand why The Daily Show is the most-watched "news" program for college students (and, I hear, Wall Street analysts).

Stewart may well have had the best interview with Alan Greenspan last week. In his usual irreverent manner, Stewart asked Greenspan some of the toughest and most far-reaching questions he got from anyone as he made the rounds to promote his book. Stewart even got Greenspan, the self-avowed uber Libertarian, to admit that what the Federal Reserve does is government regulation.

Take a look at the 9/20 post on former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors Greg Mankiw's blog for some additional interesting commentary.
