Jon Stewart had former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich on his show last night, and questioned him about the decision not to testify in his corruption trial. “There is not a person in the world that I believe could get you to pipe down,” Stewart said. “Here’s what concerns me. I would like to see you as a Dickens character. I would like to see you as a victim. But you make it so hard.”

Stewart added: “You’re a guy who’s the most adamant about his innocence that I have ever met. So, like I say, you’re either the victim of a terrible persecution, or you’re a sociopath. I want to believe that you’re not a sociopath.”
