Re: [Marxism] Bolivian president appears on Daily Show

[Eli Stephens <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've produced a partial transcript of what I thought were the most important 
parts of Morales' Daily Show interview here:

Incidentally, this from the Miami Herald is, in my opinion, nonsense:

"Looking a bit stiff and speaking through a translator, Morales did
not seem at first to understand some of Stewart's jokes, delivering
serious responses."

Morales understood the "jokes" (really more like banter) very well. He just 
believed in giving serious answers because he considers politics a serious 
business with life-and-death consequences. He was perfectly willing to "lighten 
up" when appropriate, but not at the expense of squandering his limited 
exposure to an American audience with silliness.
