Daily Show's Jon Stewart takes on "Real American" Question

The Monday, October 20, 2008 edition of Comedy Central's "Daily Show with Jon Stewart" directly takes on the question of who is a "Real American" or a "Fake American".

This is not the first show, today, to do so: See also today's episode of MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann".

Back to Daily Show, its second segment has Jason Jones looking at Wasilla, Alaska's "small town values", in a most uncomplimentary way. (This was after showing a clip of Governor Palin telling us that we can learn from Wasilla's "main street"). We learn, all right!

BREAKING NEWS!

I'm right now watching CNN (12:30 pm, PDT, 10/21/2008), where the Alaskan Independence Party is being addressed. (You may or may not have seen a YouTube video where Sarah Palin gave a short speech before a Party function, fully encouraging them.

So, Sarah Palin? Is the Alaskan Independence Party, who wants Alaska to secede from the United States, part of the "Real Americans", or the "Fake Americans"?
