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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Levinson asserted that popular support for the recall demonstrates Walkers inadequacy. 1 million Wisconsinites cant be wrong, he said. <\/p>\n
But apparently 1, 123, 591 can, Cenac noted. Thats how many voted for walker in 2010. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
You say rare circumstances. You mean when somebody gets elected you dont agree with? Cenac said. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
As Cenac noted, at least the state of Wisconsin has something to be grateful for: two political parties that are both ethical and mature. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
