In Jon Stewart v. Rod Blagojevich, who won? All I can say is that Bonnie Hunt was much, much tougher in calling Blago on his schtick.

I suppose Stewart was being ironic at times, but I can tell you that Blagojevich did not pick up on it.

"I'm not cynical," said Stewart. "I'm skeptical. I've been hurt before. But I'm not cynical. I want to believe you."

Then: "You are a charming dude with the best head of hair I've ever f------ seen. So I want this to be real."

Then he offers to apologize to Blago publicly if he should be vindicated. He also says he would hug him.

"You are Richard Jewell," Stewart says. "I mean it. If this is true..."

"Is that the Atlanta guy? Is that who that is?" asked Blago.

Blago did admit to the swear words. That's about it. Is anyone else out there as convinced as Stewart after reading the book?

Blago doesn't care about how he looks or who makes fun of him. All he wants is the exposure. Keep up with all of the events of his "Jury Pool Tainting Tour" at http://www.rodblagojevich.com

Paige, why would you highlight those statements by Stewart as if Stewart were NOT mocking Blagojevich? Stewart, in the extended, uncensored interview, succeeded in making the former governor look guilty, silly, and undeserving of respect: He patted Blagojevich's hair fod pete's sake. I'm still not sure what interview you saw, or why you
