Elizabeth Warren on The Daily Show

By jeremyblachman

Watch this.  It's Part 2 of Jon Stewart's interview last night with Elizabeth Warren on The Daily Show.  She's head of the Congressional Oversight Panel on TARP and my favorite professor from law school.  She talks about why the banking crisis has happened, and where we go from here.  I've linked to Part 2 because it's the meatier half of the interview.  It's interesting, having seen Prof. Warren command a law school class, and knowing how good she is -- it must be really, really nervewracking to be a guest on The Daily Show.  I think the commercial break helped -- Part 2 she seemed really in command -- but watching Part 1, I was kind of surprised how nervous she seemed.  Understandable, of course -- and actually kind of reassuring.  I don't know how you trust someone who *isn't* nervous doing that sort of stuff.  Anyway, I thought it was a really nice interview, check it out.
