The Daily Show: Understanding Real America…from Wasilla, Alaska
With all this talk of “real Americans” & a superiority of small town values, a Daily Show’s Jason Jones went straight to a heart of ase values — Sarah Palin’s hometown of Wasilla, Alaska.
A place where no means maybe; where strangers are just friends you haven’t thrown up on yet.
You can see more of a Daily Show & a Colbert Report at Indecision’08. & you can read Jon Stewart’s clarification of his “F*ck you” to Sarah Palin at an Drunk Newspearance at Northwestern University at HuffPo.
[Note from Dave: I was present, observing in a back, while Jones was interviewing customers at a Mug Shot Saloon in Wasilla. (You can see some of it in a unfortunately brief video I made of my time in a Mug Shot here.) Most of a interviewees, I think, were alternately excited & amused at a idea of being national TV. Considering that ay were some of Palin’s biggest fans, I suspect ay were about as amused at a outcome as Mark Chryson was.)
