Meanwhile on Daily Show as reported by Huffington Post, Stewart Critizes Scott Walker
Back in March, first-term
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was ordered a recall election by the Government
Accountability Board, and came out victorious in Tuesday's vote.
But the tense political
climate made for some creative punditry on the part of the news organizations
covering the re-vote.
So on Tuesday night's "Daily
Show," Jon Stewart took a minute to point out how bizarre everyone's
coverage was.
First, there was the Gretchen
Carlson "Fox and Friends" interview with a teacher who had recently
visited China.
In it, both women not-so-subtly danced around the idea that a Democratic win in
the election would turn Wisconsin
into a borderline Communist state.
"It'll be like Communist
China if Walker
loses," Stewart joked. "I mean, we'll all be forced to join unions, like
in China."
Beyond that, there was some
subliminal visual messaging that Stewart and his writers picked up on in the
footage from a focus group interview.
We won't spoil anything for
you, but let's just say that the suburban mom haircut is a versatile political
weapon.
