NYC, Home of 9/11 and the Liberal Media
Last night on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart and guest, essayist Sarah Vowell, wondered about the GOP's relationship with NYC. (Jezebel calls it's a frenemy relationship), since the Big Apple is both the center of the East Coast liberal elite/media elite/elitist media and where 2,751 people died on September 11, 2001.
Around 5 minutes 10 seconds, Stewart and Vowell start talking about Sarah Palin's visit to New York City, specifically going to Ground Zero (she told reporters, "I agree with the Bush administration that we take the fight to them, we never again let them come onto our soil and try to destroy not only our democracy but communities like, the community of New York, never again.").

Just because you wrote a book about pilgrims doesn't mean you have to get your hair cut like them.

Leave Palin alone! Democrats and their media cohorts are going to regret it once Sarah becomes President and put the liberal elitists in their place! Fox News ratings are going through the roofs when all the hockey moms and Joe six packs catch on to the bias media and its "gotcha" journalism.

I found their offense and excitement at the notion that Palin would dare to show her face at Ground Zero very revealing. Thank you for reminding me why I don't waste my time with garbage like that show.

I think the offense was not that anyone would go to Ground Zero, but that anyone would go to Ground Zero as an opportunity to use the blood of innocent victims as an excuse to defend a failed war. -Reddy www.reddyrighter.com

People like sarah vowell make me ashamed to be a Democrat. I mean you really have to try really hard to maintain a gen-x reality bites level of condescension so far into your 40's? I mean, I was that way in college too, but I eventually got over myself.
sv: "hey john, do you know who's soooooo lame?"
js: "terrorists?"
audience: "ROTFL"
sv: "nooooo! republicans, john! they're so, like, icky!"
audience: "LMAO so true"
js: "miss sarah vowell everyone! she's lives in new york!"
audience: *laughs ironically*
*turns off tv*

Ever notice Bush and Palin are never in the same place at the same time?
Hmmm...I think he's hiding under a wig.
