Stewart's father, Miles Copeland Jr., was a MAJOR supproter of George Bush the first. Supported Bush over Reagan in the 1980 Republican primary and then did various things I don't recall in the 1988 election, so it is no wonder that the son voted for George H.W. Bush in 1988 and 1992.
I didn't know that bin Laden went to the same school as Stewart.
ETA: Stewart was born in Alexandria, Virginia, right accross the Potamic from Washington DC. It is much more DC than Virginia and onyl couts as the south by a technicality. I live near Alexandria and almost no one there thinks of themselves as souther by the fact they live there.
ETA2: From the wikipedia page for Stewart father,

[quote]In 1988, Copeland wrote an article titled "Spooks for Bush" which asserted that the intelligence community overwhelmingly supported George H.W. Bush for President; Bush had run the CIA during the 1970s under Gerald Ford.

Note that the father is Miles Jr. The brother is Miles III.
