And who might they be? Why Rep. Eric Cantor and his buddy from William and Mary, Jon Stewart. Both men are 47, both are graduates of William and Mary and both are Jews.
Jon leans left and Eric Cantor is leaning even more right than he used to. They discuss the upcoming election and the differences between Democrats and Republicans. Rep. Cantor has a new book, Young Guns. They even spend a little time there.
Think there is common ground? You will be surprised. (The title is from Jon Stewart’s words, not mine.)
There are three videos. 1 was shown during the show and the remaining 2 after hours. Totally fun and I think both men had fun. Cantor is the Republican whip in the House of Representatives.

Good stuff by Jon and Eric. Enjoyed the exchange.
I really enjoyed this exchanged. Anyone who thinks Jon is an airhead should watch this.
They covered a lot of ground and seemed to enjoy it immensely. Thanks for watching. These segments were some of my very favorite.
Agreed, it was a wonderful exchange. All I can say is, you gotta have backbone to face Jon Stewart!
After reading your comments I went to the web and watched the 2 extended episodes. I agree with all your comments. I will add that I have a new respect for Eric Cantor (and I’m a Progressive). If he can convince some of the other Republican legislators to follow his lead , We just might get something done in Congress to straighten out the Economy (wouldn’t that be nice!) Cantor has no lack of courage and he didn’t try to duck any questions. I’ll stop now before I turn into a Conservative .
