Last night’s guest on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” was none other than Pervez Musharraf, president of Pakistan, the Associated Press reports.

After presenting the president with tea and twinkies, Stewart started his questioning with, “Where’s Osama bin Laden?”

“I don’t know. You know where he is? You lead on, we’ll follow you,” Musharraf replied.

The President also laughed at questions about U.S. President Bush, when Stewart asked him if the U.S. president “slept or watched television” during the meeting between the two leaders last week.

Musharraf was on the show to promote his autobiography. When Stewart asked if the current Iraq war was not mentioned because it was “going so well,” the President gave an honest answer.

“It has led certainly to more extremism and terrorism around the world,” Musharraf said.

It was an interview of opposites – Stewart was more polite and serious with Musharraf than he is with other guests, while the Pakistani president replied with humour. However, Stewart’s serious tone did not save Musharraf from Stewart’s seat of heat, when he asked the president who would win the popular vote in Pakistan – Bush or bin Laden.

“I think they’ll both lose miserably,” he answered.
