Jon Stewart takes down Sarah Palin

As the former Alaska governor waxes hypocritical, the "Daily Show" host's sympathy wanes

Published

On last night’s “Daily Show,” Jon Stewart mulled over Sarah Palin’s appearance on the Sean Hannity show on which the former governor shared her feelings of being a victim in the wake of the Arizona shootings. She wasn’t a victim of the attack, but rather, as usual, another “gotcha” moment seized by the left wing media.

Why doesn’t this make sense? Stewart’s hypothesis:

Is it possible governor that you have become a lightning rod less for your clarity of vision but more for your ability to turn any criticism of you into persecution of you — while still very casually being able to dismiss a pretty large portion of America?
