Web_geM: The Daily Show's Indecision 2008
Every once in a while, something pops up on the web that even
HAWT finds noteworthy. This is the series called Web_geM,
and it's gonna snuggle you into clapping, hitting refresh
and forwarding it on to everyone you know...

No day (Monday through Thursday) is complete without Howard Stern and the Daily Show. I'm going to be honest: the Daily Show's Indecision 2008 doesn't hold a torch to the Daily Show's Indecision 2004. I just don't think the correspondents are cutting it. Four years ago we had Steve Carell (The Office, Get Smart), Stephen Colbert (Colbert Report, Strangers With Candy), Rob Corddry (tons of things) and Ed Helms (The Office) covering the election brilliantly. Each night brought a delight. This year? Not so much.
Web_geM's, and I feel the need to call out their segment on the media's terribly biased coverage from Wednesday night. You don't want to miss this video.
I've been frustrated with how the Republicans slid a woman into VP and expect Hillary's supporters to slip over. I'm always frustrated how Republicans tell you how to live (not gay, no abortion, with gun), but then insist you give them privacy when they make their life choices. Cheney's the best at this as he supports ammendments to the Constitution to ban same-sex marriage, yet refuses to talk about his gay daughter and her partner. "That's personal," he says.
Well, the Daily Show explores the lunacy in this 6-minute clip.
Brilliant, and simply HAWTaction [hot ak-shuh

Truly brilliant.
Why hasn't the Daily Show hired me yet?

I don't get this. :-( This Daily Show stuff just goes right over my head. Guess I'm just not as smart as you guys.
My favorite of the Daily Show News team was the reporter chanting "Osama! Osama!" at the DNC, only to be corrected by a delegate. LOL!
What about the fact that Obama grew up in Hawaii and Palin is from Alaska. Isn't there a rule that the President needs to be from the 48? Do Alaska and Hawaii really count as states?
Jake! Our youngest reader and commenter! Welcome! What are you, 4 months old now?
Your mommy and daddy can only teach you so many things, so you should always come to HAWTaction when you want to be educated.
Alaska and Hawai'i are states in these fine United States of America! They are both in the Pacific and the U.S. adopted them when they were desperate to have some control over the Pacific. (You know, Russia, China and Japan are on the other side of the Pacific. They can be crazy.) Think of getting Hawai'i and Alaska as smart chess moves.
Chess? Think of that as building with blocks, but with strategy.
Blocks? Think of them as the soft toys you like to snuggle and nosh on with that coming tooth, but really, really hard.
Hard? Think of your daddy's giant head.
Welcome, buddy!
Good to see you comment again, Jess, and welcome, Jake!
Jake, I just want to help raise you because I want you to be just like me. Your mom and dad should want you to be like me. YOU should want to be like me.
So, what are you? 4 months? 5 months? Here's your homework: start doing weights, start reading the Encyclopedia Britannica, start learning how to count cards and start figuring out how to talk to animals. You should have that done by 8 months of age. That'll set you on my path, and it's a great place to be.
