Jon Stewart kicked off last nights Daily Show by discussing yesterdays gubernatorial election in Wisconsin. While Republican governor Scott Walker survived the recall, Stewart offered a dire prediction for the states future.

During a focus group with Wisconsin public schoolteachers, Stewart was quick to notice, a prophetic symbol. The room was decorated with portraits of Americas presidents. Curiously, one womans hair blocked the bottom half of Regans face, giving him a slightly sinister stache. Notice how that womans hair transforms Ronald Regans portrait into, I dont know, Stalin! he exclaimed.

For more information from the badger state itself, Stewart turned to Daily Show correspondent Wyatt Cenac, who sat down to chat with Jeremy Levinson, attorney for the Wisconsin Democratic Party.

Levinson asserted that popular support for the recall demonstrates Walkers inadequacy. 1 million Wisconsinites cant be wrong, he said.

But apparently 1, 123, 591 can, Cenac noted. Thats how many voted for walker in 2010.

Cenac asked Levinson what exactly Walker had done to warrant such drastic action. Did he break a law or get caught with prostitutes? he asked. Levinson said no but described the recall as a safety valve used only in rare circumstances.

You say rare circumstances. You mean when somebody gets elected you dont agree with? Cenac said.

Cenac also sat down with Wisconsin Republican Isaac Weix. This is ridiculous! Cenac fumed. You dont just recall every dumb person because theyre a dumb person! After a short, contemplative pause, Weix nodded in agreement.

As Cenac noted, at least the state of Wisconsin has something to be grateful for: two political parties that are both ethical and mature.

In the second segment of the show, Stewart discussed double-digit unemployment among Americas blacks and Latinos. That could really hurt Obamas chances among, well lets be honest, just Latinos, he said.
