In fact, the pundits and the politicians should stay out of all issues concerning any woman's uterus. Too bad the Republicans are unable, or unwilling, to see the irony in this. Last night on The Daily Show, Samantha Bee knocked it out of the park when she did a segment interviewing conventioneers about Sarah Palin. (One woman likes her because "she makes Americans feel like anyone can be president.") The best, though, was when Bee asked around about Bristol's pregnancy, and the Palins' choice they had to make.

The Daily Show did a great segment about the "a sea of white faces" who have been "left out and left behind" back in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, while the more important Republicans went down to New Orleans to "deal" with a natural disaster. One member of the GOP — anyone know who he is? — gave one of the assiest, yet most honest comments on the situation: "I was real excited until we decided to cancel the convention to placate the liberal media…because some people are getting rained on." Harsh as that is, it's probably a pretty accurate sentiment to what many of the GOP delegates were thinking. Clip above.
