Exclusive Extended Interview with Soon-to-be-Former White House Economist Austan Goolsbee
Just look at this guy. He's so happy to be leaving his D.C. job and going home. On the one hand, it really almost brings a tear to my eye. But on the other, it makes me sad for all the poor economists who are still trapped in that godforsaken place.
Can you even imagine how awful it must be to have a functioning brain and a working understanding of statistics, and then find yourself trapped in our nation's capitol? We have to bring them home. We have to bring them all home. Washington is no place for an educated person…

Jon Stewart's Extended Interview with Austan Goolsbee
Last night Austan Goolsbee returned to The Daily Show, but what made it to air was just the tip of the Goolsberg. If you think you can handle it, there's nearly ten additional uncut Goolsbeelicious minutes after the jump. Unless you're an experienced Goolsbeehead though, probably don't take it all at once though. Wouldn't want you to Goolsberdose.
