1. I'm just waiting for him to start frightening the good bourgeois burghers

of DU the way Chavez has. It'll start happening if his profile gets much higher. "Ooh! He's a bit radical for my tastes! A little too... prole-y for me."

2. It's good to know which side I'm supposed to be on. Hard to keep track these days.

Thanks for the heads up. Even though I know now, I think I'll watch anyway. :shrug:

6. You hear that all the time on DU!

Well, okay, you don't. In fact, I've never heard it. But there are little reflexive eruptions of bourgeois discomfort here sometimes when actual Marxists take the world stage. This is not to say that any objection to Morales, Chavez, Castro et al. are illegitimate - hardly. But to me the protests here often seems based in fright and middle-class instinct more than anything. Just my opinion.

7. He had a very poor grasp of Jon's humor

It was a good interview though very short as are all of the Daily show interviews are. He said before Nationalizing the oil industry they had a return of about 300 million dollars for their country. Now they have a return of over two billion which goes to aid the common people which are quite poor..

8. Kicking for those who missed this to watch the reruns today

Very interesting. I hadn't heard about this guy. He made way too much sense!
