Rush & Molloy tip us off to a profile of Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert (because, really, we need another one of those) in this month's Rolling Stone. What makes this one extra-special is that it's written by Maureen Dowd! Yes, MoDo! Here's how it starts:

I thought Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert might be a little nervous to meet with me. I was the real news commentator, after all, and they were the mock. They threw spitballs at presidents; I interviewed presidents before throwing spitballs at them. I had crisscrossed the globe to cover news stories, while these guys just put on dark suits and threw up imported backgrounds on a green screen. No doubt they would try to impress me with some weighty discussion about world affairs or the midterm elections. But when I walked into Colbert's office at The Colbert Report, just off Tenth Avenue in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen, the two barely acknowledged me.

We'll let you savor that one. MoDo's a big fan of the shows ("I read about ten newspapers a day and three newsmagazines a week, and I have my TV tuned to cable news all day, and I still find myself taking notes from The Daily Show."), which is nice, considering she's appeared as a guest on both of them.
