Thanks Julio for posting that link and reminding me of that great interview.
I was really floored at the time that on a popular comedy program Stewart would invite on Evo Morales. And it was a very respectful interview at that, and I think we got to give Stewart credit for it.
I don't see enough about Bolivia on this list. People should be aware of this blog that posts news items on Bolivia.
