The Daily Show is slamming Wasilla
Making their present Mayor look like a idiot, Says being Mayor of Wasilla makes one prepared to be VP but can't explain how but she does sign checks for the employees
if missed watch the repeat

3. Actually, that is harmful in regards to people who are retarded...

These people of Wasilla need to travel. I really think it would be wise to invest in every Senior going somewhere outside of America for at least two weeks as a requirement to graduate. It would open up their eyes and expose them to culture, thought, and perspective.

6. Isn't Mayor Keller the cousin of Sarah Palin and involved in her own drama?
Has Wasilla ever elected a donkey as Mayor because it doesn't seem that you need any actual skill to run their town.

7. Dunno if she's her cousin.. but she's the "outgoing mayor"
They held an election there a few weeks ago and it's down to two guys (I can't remember who the hell they are).. but they have a run-off election to determine their next mayor on October 28th...

10. They're cousins. Palin endorsed Dianne over her Mother-in-Law.
Seems like corruption runs rampant throughout their family.

8. God that was hilarious. And mindboggling.
Edited on Tue Oct-21-08 02:23 AM by ContinentalOp
"So let's say you have a problem with the fire department..."
"Wasilla doesn't manage the fire department"
"OK, so let's say you're dealing with the school district, and..."
"Wasilla doesn't oversee the school system either."
"Uh, ok. But let's say you're dealing with one of your social services..."
"Wasilla doesn't have ANY social services."

:wtf:

12. that really was hilarious
Let's give credit where credit is due--she does have a meeting once a week. I guess that counts as executive experience.

11. Last night's show was great, and ...
... and I recommend it to anyone living in "anti-American" cities who feel slighted by the latest McCain/Palin narrative that we aren't real Americans. Jon is put off by this new campaign strategy and it shows.

13. That was brilliant and brutal at the same time! Jon was on fire!
Jon's bit on fake and real Americans had me on the floor laughing. I caught my breath during the commercial then came Jason Jones in Wasilla. That was great!

15. How about the idiot in the local bar...
Edited on Tue Oct-21-08 10:28 PM by Puzzler
... who seemed to think that 911 had more of an effect on "small town" Wasilla than NYC.
