People who know me, know I lurve Charlie Rose. Don’t get me wrong– I know he’s a flawed interviewer, what with his tendency to answer his own questions (e.g.– a question to a banker might be “So the markets are not great. They’re in trouble. Things aren’t working out. And in that situation, what do we do? Do we increase government spending? Do we cut interest rates? Or do we just say “hands off).

BUT he does have interesting and in-depth interviews with compelling people whom we don’t see enough of in the rest of US newsmedia, especially interviews with higher education officials, artists, writers and the like.

All of this is a lead up to say–this video is HILARIOUS. (Courtesy of Chris Hayes Editor of The Nation).
