Actually D-Ray...after viewing I came away with embarrassment for US as a society. And the news mongers sounded like idiotdom.
As for Sarah Palin...I object to anyone being called trailer trash...whore or any other expletive. What name was Weiner called?
Hate provides nothing...like a rocking chair...it gets you nowhere...it's just something to do.

You have a good point. I think Stewart does a good job of exposing some of the base aspects of human nature, but using humor to make it palatable, and perhaps a little less painful.
I do believe that there are many sound reasons to criticize Palin. I also believe that Weiner is experiencing a considerable degree of public humiliation at this point. When you hang a curveball like he did, most pundits and comedians are going to hit it out of the park.

No kidding about Weiner. He made his bed though.
I doubt, considering the circumstances, that Giffords is beatable. I'm not certain it's in good taste possibly for the GOP to even seriously try.
I'm not certain our good friend Sarah has a grip on that though.

Well, she has long had Giffords in her cross-hairs.

And quite literally true. And when Palin was called out on it, she played the victim card like a real pro. It actually worked to rally her base. Unbelievable.

Aw gee whiz Pa. Same thing happened when Ma asked us if her butt looked fat in her double-knit pants.

[QUOTE=painter;65200]I came away with embarrassment for US as a society. [QUOTE]
that is exactly how I feel when Sarah insists that she represents "real Americans."
Additionally her use of the term is divisive in and of itself.
