The Daily Show - Sarah Palin & The Gender Card

shadowncsays...

It's too bad that these things can't be pointed out live on the air, right after they are said. Because most people's attention span is so short that they will never recall stuff like this weeks or months later. Sadly, most Fox News viewers probably aren't watching the Daily Show and will never have this stuff pointed out to them. Even more sad, is stuff like this goes on in both parties...they are both guilty of saying whatever suits them at the time. We're in a bad situation when it takes a comedy show to be the voice of political reason.

Face it: we need the Republicans to win again so the quality and quantity of material for The Daily Show won't be compromised. We need our chuckles, Yo!


Even if Obama is President, Republicans will still be Republicans, providing material for Stewart. No need for us to be angry at the same time, like dag said.

I think Palin's nomination as VP is going to be a godsend for Stewart & Colbert, since now virtually every GOP talking point against Obama/Clinton must be reversed -- women need to be respected, experience doesn't matter, foreign policy knowledge isn't important, even a windfall profits tax has to be tiptoed around, since Palin supported one in Alaska.

Oceania has never been at war with Eurasia, we have always been at war with Eastasia; anyone who says otherwise is spreading Eastasian propaganda and must be reported to authorities...

Yes, Yes, Yes, YES!! Thank you (once again) Jon!

You know, I still find it strange that he is Comedy, and CNN/Fox/ABC/CBS are News... MSN (Main stream News) could easily do Jon's schtick (ok without the humor), but choose not to... Every time I laugh at a Daily Show/Colbert clip, it also makes me want to cry that this isn't being done by a "real" news agency.

It's hard to be so angry and laugh at the same time. -dag

My sentiments exactly. We need a serious Colbert or Stewart to really organize some media attention on corruption in a productive manner. Too bad the only way THE MAN let's this stuff on the air is with a laugh, on the comedy channel. The people who decide the way we live our lives are corrupt, HAH hah... hah?

Then again, if we just started attacking back, would we be any better? Yeah, probably, but not by enough.

The pacifist will be crushed by the raging bully which has no conscience. It's time to come out from behind the shield and strike back with unmatched fury. The bully must be stood up to, and not just defended against. To win this war, the enemy must be destroyed.

I'd like to know how much surplus of material his staff comes up with during the course of a week. Might make for a great shit-o-meter.

"Frank, how much unused material do we have this week?"
"Well, roughly around 200 hours worth i'd say."
"Damn, RNC again?"

I know you're just being comical, but it really doesn't matter. In Jon Stewart's appearance on Crossfire he pointed out that the system is ridiculous and it doesn't really matter who is involved in it. He did, however, concede that it would be tough to top BushCo.
