I love the Daily Show. It is just about the only thing on TV that I like. The rerun for Friday night’s edition ran this morning around 1:00 am. I awoke to catch the dialogue between Jon and Samantha about the announcement of Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate for VP. If you didn’t catch it, read on. Needless to say, I was rolling on the floor laughing.

Jon Stewart: Senior Female and Women’s Issues correspondent Samantha Bee joins us now with more on this announcement. Samantha, obviously I know how moved you were by Senator Hillary Clinton’s run for the presidency, how are you feeling now about this extraordinary moment?

Samantha Bee: It’s amazing Jon. And as a proud Vagina American myself I can tell you I’ll be voting for McCain in November.

J: [Long Pause] That’s it? You just vote for whoever has a….

S: A fun pouch.

J: Ah [pointing towards crouch]

S: The love pita.

J: Right. But in many ways Governor Palin is the ideological opposite of senator Clinton.

S: Oh yes, but she is her gynecological twin. You see the thing is, they both have vaginas.

J: I understand. But Senator McCain is someone who voted against equal pay for equal work…

S: [Drawing circles around her breasts] Boopies…

J: I understand that but both Palin and McCain believe Roe V. Wade should be overturned.

S: [Holding hand to head] Ow Ow Ow. Can you just stop overloading my lady brain? John McCain chose a woman who is almost completely unprepared for the job and who disagrees with me on every core value I believe in. But I will be voting for McCain in November because he understands, women don’t vote with the big head, they vote with the little  hood.

Samantha Bee is brilliant. Very funny person and just nailed the craziness of this announcement.

Every time I see President Bush talk, I cringe and think, “what an idiot.” But it’s getting to be the same way with me and McCain. What an idiot.
