Main Street & God's Country

The right deserves the backlash it's receiving for trying to claim the mantle of real America; of decency, honor, and patriotism. As if party affiliation and zip code are reliable indicators of one's values or character. This type of demagoguery has been a productive election season tool for the right for many decades but times have changed and it's clear the returns are diminishing. The Daily show exploits the BS of it all in this clip about Main Street, Wasila, Alaska.

damn--this clip was hilarious. I love the interview with the mayor...you could hear the crickets in the background when he asked her to take him through a typical day in her job as Mayor!

Bam--good find. Maybe you will come across the clip of the Daily Show where they do a spoof of "Community organizers" I think it was from a few weeks ago.

peace,
