Jon Stewart Ridicules The Fall Of Sarah Palin And The Rise Of Herman Cain

Video
» 229 comments

On Thursday night’s episode of The Daily Show, host Jon Stewart tore into both Sarah Palin‘s announcement that she won’t be seeking the Republican nomination this year and Herman Cain‘s recent surge in support.

Stewart referred back to earlier comments he’d made about Palin’s bus tour across key states, wherein he surmised that she was either 1) angling for the GOP nomination, or 2) a crazy person. He seemed quite taken aback by her suggestion that the race to the White House is “not about me,” particularly considering how her bus tour effectively stole attention from other, official candidates — not terribly unlike a guest who shows up to a wedding wearing a bridal gown. Stewart then called her narcissism a “victimless crime,” with one notable exception: A letter from “SarahPAC” asking readers whether they think Palin should “save our nation from this road to European socialism”… and asking for money. Money Palin has already used for things like the art on her bus.

As you can imagine, Stewart has some thoughts about all this. And he would like to share them with all of you:

The only way that the little scheme could be dishonorable or shady would be if Palin had known all along what her decision was, yet continued to dangle her indecision as a lure to unsuspecting donors. Now how’re you going to prove that? You’d have to find someone close to the operation, but perhaps too naive to realize she had inadvertently spilled the beans on, let’s say, June 28th.

…as Bristol Palin did while visiting Fox and Friends.

And then there’s Herman Cain, who has been seemingly everywhere lately, including programs evidently taped, as Stewart joked, in a La Quinta suite also used for films of the adult variety.

Onto a much more delicious topic, Stewart also poked fun at Cain’s running “black walnut” ice cream joke in response to the assertion that he’s merely the “flavor of the week.” And then there was Stewart’s take on this, Cain’s theory about Occupy Wall Street:

I don’t have facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration.

This was rather disappointing to Stewart, who felt that — if you don’t have to back things up with facts — you can come up with much, much wilder theories. Perhaps involving a tub of ice cream and a certain La Quinta suite?

    I sure am glad that Jon Stewart gets really upset by gullible people funding bus tours for politicians, which is what you can expect from such a swell, righteous person. 
    And I’m also glad that Stewart hasn’t yet learned about President Obama charging tax payers for his political bus tours.Don’t you tell him! Don’t you dare! Because Stewart is a straight shooter and he’d rip Obama a new a$$hole if he ever found out!

    RE: BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER
    Dear Herm-How is it going broham? Look I’m sitting here next to big Maxie Waters at some CBC job fair and she told me to knock off the plantation talk cause it makes black people in general and you in particular look stupid. Yeah I know I said was the new Haririet Tubman and all but I’ve been getting all kinds of flack from Manny Cleaver and the boys. They said if I ever wanted to pick where the CBC has lunch again I better can it and doggone it I’m tired at eating at Olive Garden. They say you get endless breadsticks but that’s FAR from the truth. But I digress. Life at these job fair is lame-they make me say stuff like its great that Obama is the first black potus. Oh the agony! Anyhoo this is just a note to straighten out and fly right. Ixnay on the plantation-ay okay? stay frosty!

  • JustAnAmericanTeen

    OK….so no one has mentioned Ron Paul yet, so I’ll take this opportunity to do so. John Stewart might seem like a useless TV comedian, but that’s what he does. He entertains…..so those of you who have anything negative to say, shut the hell up. He is not SUPPOSED to be factual. You just can’t tell the difference because stations like FOX are becoming more like Stewart’s jokes….What Stewart succeeded at was showing the public that Cain is just like a lot of the other candidates in that he goes back and forth with his opinions to whatever suits the election. And Palin has always been a joke, so that was completely within his own right. In fact, you should be happy he made Bristol’s statement relevant, so people realize how useless Palin really was. The point is, the reason the media is quiet, and Stewart doesn’t bring Paul up anymore is that there is nothing to poke fun at. He hasn’t changed any opinion. Or done anything stupid, or at least as stupid as his running-mates. And before you guys throw the negative comments my way, just think about it this way. The reason us Paul supporters will always be Paul supporters. His numbers will never decrease, only increase as you all finally find him as a candidate to settle on, after you have tasted all the other “ice-cream” out there. Thank you for your time :)

    Fact: Ron Paul is a freak that doesn’t value the

  • JustAnAmericanTeen

    First, why is he a freak. Because that seems like a pretty strong opinion to have. And a pretty weird one, so I really am intrigued by it. Second, the terrorist he killed was an American citizen, who was never proven to be a terrorist. Paul isn’t really saying he didn’t think the man should be killed, he just said that when we start killing people without trials, where does it stop. Basically, they could kill YOU without any proof, and say you were a terrorist, and people like you would just agree with it, even though it might be not be just. See, this case might have been a positive, but what is they get it wrong. And seriously, respond. I just turned 18, so I don’t have that much experience in politics, and am willing to learn, if you have something relevant to teach me….

    Unfortunately, for people like Tina (and Michelle and Pablo and Norbit and all the other deep thinkers here) Jon Stewart violates all their knee-jerk, preconceived notions of what a “lefty loon” is supposed to be, and so they just revert to the tired insults that hacks like Hannity, Coulter and O’Reilly have cooked up for them. It’s sad when people don’t think critically, but it makes life very easy for them to stick to a script. They never have to move beyond their three talking points: 1.) Liberals are evil. 2.) The mainstream media hates America. 3.) Only Roger Ailes tells the truth.

    It’s easy to make fun of these folks, but it’s also sad to read their comments.

    So glad you enjoy seeing what you feel is the failure of a President of the United States.  In which other areas do you enjoy watching the United States fail?  Im sure there are many.

    You see if you offer no solutions, just glee in someone else’s failure it is clear you have never attempted to lead or participate in leadership.  In the parlance of productive people you are a naysayer, a non-entity.

    In leadership and management no provision is made for people like you because you offer nothing to any productive side of a debate, project or endeavor.

  • Anonymous

    the republicans have offered solutions and they will keep offering them.  The President is not the United States – he’s a citizen, just like anyone else.  When he insists on lecturing and campaigning on our dollar it sticks in a lot of people’s craw.  

    Watched him “fillibuster” yesterday.  It was shameful.  When the heck is he going to catch on that we’ve heard his drawn out answers that are completely nonsensical and nothing but hot air and damning the republicans, so don’t even go there regarding the wish to rid him of his title.  He’s failing – and who the hell wishes for failure?  Why would we support failure?  

    In leadership and management he has proven he is not capable of either/neither.  Please quit with the nothing productive nonsense.  He’s a one trick pony and that sucker pulled up lame.

    Palin was guilty of nothing but pride in her Country and a willingness to serve when called upon.

    willingness to serve when called – wtf?  She quit her job as Govenator of Alaska so she could get cash from her fame.  Mind you I dont personally begrudge her for it but that is the fact.  She strikes me as a very ambitious person of average intelligence that went from State politics to national politics way too fast.

    I also believe she has relied heavily on her looks to get her by and been intellectually lazy.

    For all you  lovers of The Sara Palin product,here she is telling you the money you sent was for her not for her fake run for President.  http://theimmoralminority.blog… Here is just a little taste of what The Sarah Palin hawker had to say. On an Alaska radio talk show yesterday , when asked if she felt any obligation to send donations back, Palin said: “I don’t believe that people have been ever under the impression that..that SarahPAC was ONLY for..in case Sarah Palin ran for president.”

  • Anonymous

    1st re-read my post I was specifically addressing GRBSPR.  I said nothing of either party.

    2nd on your point of the President Failing.  It would be hard to argue that a president failing is a good thing for the USA (assuming you subscribe to the idea he is not actively determined to damage the country) thus taking pleasure in his failure is, logically, taking pleasure in failure of the USA.  A lot of the world wants us to fail – GRBSPR should be honest that he is one of those (at least with Obama in office).

    3rd Not sure what you mean about riding him of his title (sic).

    4th It can be said that the failure of a Democratic President can be a political gain for Republicans.  Politically many people may indeed hope for Obama to fail.  You do not seem to and I think that is good.

    5th Obama does not appear to be a very strong organizational leader.  That said I cannot think of another president in my lifetime handed a more difficult situation upon entering office (Ford would most definitely come to mind though).

    what was so “difficult” when he entered the office?  If you recall, Bush was a lame duck pres and had to pretty much go along with whatever the democrats wanted – they controlled it all, except for the “office”.  Suddenly, everything was Bush’s fault.  Well Bush could have vetoed every move made – and that would have gone over like a lead balloon.  It is nice to have him to blame though.  

    When Obama entered – he had the whole pie – he could do whatever he wanted – he didn’t, neither did the senate nor the congress.  There was no reason to.  Nobody to shame and cajole.  How many times did Obama tell the republicans to shut up and sit down?  I was absolutely astounded at how divisive he was right out of the starting gate.  That’s when he started losing his lustre.  He ridiculed McCain (childish bully behavior) and it just got worse and worse.  Now, suddenly he’s demanding the republicans compromise.  That is completely unreasonable.  He is the one who has to compromise – not the republicans, and his goodwill towards his fellow man is sorely lacking.  Again, we heard nothing but how the republicans are the problem.  No, the problem is the tone that he set, and his stance hasn’t adjusted.  I would think that the most difficulty in modern time was what happened to Bush – and he dealt with it – maybe not to the liking of others (as it played out) – but he dealt with the hand that he got.  Right after 9/11 everyone – was proud of Bush.  To be honest, I never heard Bush ridicule and put down the democrats – never.  Perhaps it wasn’t in the nature of the man, but he was and is a gentleman.  I’m afraid I don’t think Obama is.

    I am sick and tired of the  “she quit” people.  So, I pose a question to them.
     
    You hold a position, under the rules and law of this position you can have endless frivolous lawsuits brought against you at little or no cost to the subsidized plaintiffs.
     
    You earn $125,000.00 a year, (after turning down a salary increase to $150,000.00) you must personally pay all legal defense costs out of your own pocket. Said legal costs are now at $500,000,00+ and rising everyday.
     
    Most all your time is now devoted to fighting the lawsuits and you cannot properly perform the work your position demands and your staff is thrown into turmoil with their constantly having to do research and presenting evidence to rebut the lawsuits.
     
    You attempt to start a legal defense fund, but immediately there are lawsuits brought stating that it is illegal for one in your position to do so, and a judge rules you must shut it down until the issue is decided in court.
     
    You have taken out a second mortgage on your home, it is now evident the legal costs are bankrupting your family
     
    Through no fault of their own, your staff under you are also brought into the lawsuits, they too must obtain lawyers, their salaries cannot sustain these costs and it threatens their family’s economic well being.
     
    Your employer ( the state and citizens of Alaska) are also embroiled in the lawsuits and in numerous ways have to outlay millions of dollars.
     
    You can bring it all to an end by resigning your position, now tell me honestly, what would you do?

    If you think what Pelin had to undergo was just fine, then do you agree that the Palin rule should apply to AG Holder when he is charged for perjury, and I mean all the rules she had to operate under?

    Oh, she very much does and can put Sarah PAC $ in her pockets. It pays for all of her travel and many on her “payroll”- and there are many more other than her parents, who get paid thousands of dollars for very vague “work”. Do you think she’d have gone on that bus tour if she had to use HER money? Of course not. Do you think she’d use HER money to wrap a bus for 14 K? The answer is no.

    The sad part about that letter that was sent, was that even if she DID say she was running? Any money sent to that PAC could NOT be used for her campaign. That would have to have come from a different pot. She can, however, still use her PAC to fund her “bus tours” pay her parents for mailing stuff, pay her ghost writers for their FB posts, and whoever else might even need hush money for some reason- (pssst- where is TriG’s birth cert?)

    Yet another slap in the face to those who gave her money is that she went on our local shock jock radio program and actually had the nerve to say she does’t really control her PAC. She specifically said that she is NOT in charge of SarahPAC, but it is the one most closely associated with her. So, how is she able to access it for her personal needs to easily and readily then? Liar. Who was she campaigning for on her bus tour? No one but herself as far as I’m concerned.

    Oh she fleeced her flock to be sure. They should be demanding their money back.

    I’ve just figured it out – The “Comment Section” in online news articles is just a virtual sandbox from your Kindergarten class.  Judging from all the comments, it’s all about who can throw the most sand, be the biggest bully, hurl the most insults, and get the most people upset.  Your actual views on the subject at hand are just a mere afterthought.

    Wouldn’t a forum be interesting to read that had a REAL discussion on the topic at hand?  But what fun would that be without all the hatred, anger, bigotry, bullying, immaturity, and name calling.  (BTW, I think anyone that uses the term Pooseyboy….well, let’s just say that one speaks for itself)

    Carry on, and PLEASE make sure I get a big whopping bucketful of sand dumped down my pants.  I’d hate to be excluded from all the fun.

    Jon Stewart missed one additional piece of damning evidence.

    Palin’s video that was released to her followers AFTER her announcement, was uploaded to YouTube on September 27, ten days BEFORE the movie and announcement was actually made public.

    At that same time, SarahPAC was asking followers for the “largest one time donation ever.” 

    In other words, the fund raising letter was sent out after the decision was made not to run.
