Bob,
This is an instant classic. I wish these Republicans could sit down and watch this and realize how ridiculous they are being. I guess that's way too much to ask.

There are times when The Daily Show goes far beyond its usual brilliance, and this is certainly one of them...

The Daily Show = Best Show Ever.

I want to be that girl's friend.

I particularly loved the point earlier in the show after seeing Palin's community organizer joke when Stewart said, "So to all you people trying to make a difference in your communities, F*** YOU!!!"

This is as good as any place to put this:

Bob, what I'm wondering is this: Ever since McCain announced that he had picked Sarah Palin as his choice (hehe) for VP nominee, we haven't seen a single post from the person who goes by "Alaska". I wonder what happened to him/her?

Sam Bee's thinking with the 'hood' piece was funny too. This one may, if possible, top it though.

This is unrelated, but this clip gave me hope today:

Sorry, here's the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/26563623#26563623

In response to The Colonel:

Dear Joe Biden,
Thank You.
Love,
Brad

@ bajasteve:
My friend Ryan has been busting his ass working, attending mark Begich for Senate fundraisers, figuring out how to spend his $3,269 PFD check he'll be getting next week from the state of alaska, and keeping up his OWN blog: http://www.ieatgravel.com/

@ bajasteve:

I've been catatonic since the McCain's CHOICE of running mate. I laughed hysterically for the first 3 days, and then immediately reverted to a sense of vehement anger. During her acceptance speech the other night, I kept waiting for Ashton Kutcher to come out and tell her she was punked. When that never happened, I finally realized that the McCain campaign was serious. As PackyJ mentioned above, I've been busy working on my blog, working to ensure Mark Begich replaces 40-year-incumbent Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens, and working overtime at my job.

Thanks for waking me up.

Question: How is a speech that (while well delivered and forceful)is filled with lies a "homerun" and described as "hitting it out of the park"?

Answer: mmmmmmmmm BBQ

Because the speech was spoken to Republicans.

Alaska: glad to see you're back! I've been wanting to read your take on McCain's choice for VP. Since you've experienced her ?governance? first-hand, I figured you'd be well qualified to opine on the subject.

Well, I could describe my take in one word.

Gimmick.

It's a joke, and if you can somehow manage to find an Alaskan that isn't giddily starstruck at the moment, they'd be able to tell you the same. The most frustrating thing this has done, is made me realize how shallow so many Alaskans are. They see the CNN trucks cruising the streets, and see Sarah Palin talk about being a hockey-mom, and all of a sudden... everything they've ever stood for doesn't matter. Even those that criticized her on a regular basis are now joining her fan club.

What a sad claim to fame for Alaska. Before, I was embarrassed that Jewel was from up here... but compared to Jewel, Sarah Palin is a cubic zirconia.
