"Good, Evil and The Game of Thrones" on "Your Weekly Constitutional

SPOILER ALERT: THIS EPISODE DISCUSSES SOME IMPORTANT PLOT ELEMENTS IN "A GAME OF THRONES." SO DON'T CUT OUR HEADS OFF! PLEASE! Is it possible to be both good and effective in politics? If you're a fan of Game of Thrones, you already know the answer to that one. To be a member of the prominent Stark family is to be both good and, most likely, dead. But is that necessarily true in the real world? This is a question of vital importance in any political system, including our constitutional republic. That's why Stewart (who loves Game of Thrones, by the way) recently sat down with Justin Garrison, a political scientist from Roanoke College in Virginia. It's a fascinating conversation, so bring your wits, and your sword!
