Sarah Palin Gender Card | The Daily Show | Comedy Central

Jon Stewart hits it out of the park against hypocritical pundits.

Sometimes Jon is just a joker, and sometimes he has no point or seems to meander through unimportant points, but this time he is brilliant. I watched the final rounds of college debate three years running, and I never saw anyone size up and take down an opponent the way John does to M.C. Rove. Not only does he refute him with his own words, but he does so with complete fairness. It is an absolute masterpiece of research, abetted by Jon's impeccable sense of comedy.

Rove says that Palin's experience as governor of Alaska and mayor of Wasilla represents excellent credentials - as opposed to the vice-presidential credentials of Tim Kaine, who was Mayor of Richmond (more than 20 times larger than Wasilla) and Governor of Virginia (10 times more populous than Alaska) for longer than Palin had been governor of Alaska. Rove found that Kaine's credentials were so weak that selecting him would be a cynical politial move which would completely ignore his inability to take over as President.

Oh, by the way, Stewart didn't mention that Kaine graduated from Harvard Law despite having grown up in a blue-collar family (Palin finally finished college after attending five of them in six years), and speaks fluent Spanish from having lived overseas (Palin had never left North America before last summer. And she has only been to Canada once, despite living in Alaska!) Caine can be directly compared to Palin, and there is not a single way in which Palin's credentials could be considered equal or superior, yet Rove found that selecting Kaine would have been hopelessly cynical while selecting Palin is just the GOP's way of showing they care!
