Meg often mocks my man-crushes. But I can’t tell if she is more embarrassed by the fact that I have so many or that they include the likes of Warren Buffet, Abraham Lincoln, and Bill Simmons… (I’ve never been about looks - except for Meg that is… ed. note: nice save). Well for the first time here at Landing$tanding, I would like to announce a new addition to my Man-crush List: Charlie Rose.

Whenever I am browsing Reddit or Delicious and come across a Charlie Rose clip, I am always enthralled.  Somehow, he is able to provide insightful interviews with fascinating guests without becoming the story himself (one of my favorites is with Marc Andreessen, who I wish would start blogging again!).

Here are two great clips of Charlie Rose interviewing a a slew of knowledgeable people (including: Paul Krugman, Andrew Sorkin, Daniel Alpert) about the Government’s toxic asset plan and the state of the economy.

Update on the economy with Charlie Rose

Discussion of toxic asset plan

We should never become too focused on things we cannot control, like the economy, but it is important to remain knowledgeable. And bosses do appreciate more than a blank stare when they try and engage you in a little morning chit-chat about the news.

So save these long clips for after work (or your lunch break), turn that vigilant inward focus about personal finance outwards for a few minutes, and enjoy! (And to answer the questions before they start: Yes. I am 24, but have the Man-crushes of an 80 yr old. Meg finds it sexy. Deal with it.)

(If anybody has other great Charlie Rose interviews that are must-see please let me know… I just can’t get enough!)

Tony… based on looks/age your choice in man crush is questionable and meg must put up with quite a lot… but i do have to admit that when he gets all passionate and what not during his interviews he does get awefully cute…. keep the man crush profiles coming!!!
