They know he’s a staunch-progressive, they know his audience is rooting for them to fall on their face and they know he’s a worthy opponent, but neo-cons like being interviewed by Jon Stewart just the same. New York Magazine has an article about why hardline Republicans enjoy getting face time on "The Daily Show." Stewart lets them answer his questions.
