Non politicians? The kids of the left certainly follow Jon Stewart much more closely than I think he warrants. And post-politician carpetbagger Al Gore gets a lot of love, as does Bill Clinton. Possibly I would throw people like Bono in the mix as well. Yep, Mike Douglass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Douglas -XC
Huh, can't find that Rand/Douglas interview. Was going to post it. I think Jon Stewart is loved on both sides of the aisle, you see this in the guests that are willing to come on his show and he on theirs. O'Riley comes to mind. Al Gore? People still like that guy? Who is Bono? jk. Clinton is a politician that managed to transcend the white-house and remain relevant after his terms. Must suck to be Bush#2 these days, the DEM's embrace Clinton whole heartedly and the GOP does all it can to duck the shadow of GW.
