Stewart: Media applaud McCain for going ‘near where black people live’

[Hepburn]

The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart apparently feels that the long-running TV series known as the Democratic presidential primaries has jumped the shark. He announced on Thursday, “At this point, usually we go to our campaign coverage. But tonight we’re not going to, and I’ll tell you why. I’M FUCKING SICK OF IT!”

“Do you know McCain has sought and gotten the endorsement of his own crazy reverend guy?” Stewart asked, playing clips of Reverend John Hagee linking the Catholic Church to Hitler, calling Americans Muslims disloyal, and saying that New Orleans was destroyed because it offended God.

Stewart finally pointed out that McCain “is the only national candidate we have whose adorability allows him to head to Selma, Alabama, one of the symbolic birthplaces of the civil rights movement, and address a crowd of almost exclusively white middle class people — and get this response from the media.”

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer described that visit as “John McCain tries to bridge the gap with African American voters.”

4. I assume he's courting blacks in case Clinton gets the nomination

It's not the dumbest strategy, frankly. I'd be a lot more confident of Obama regaining white Clinton supporters than of Clinton regaining black Obama supporters. I don't know if her campaign appreciates how much they've damaged, if not burnt, some bridges.

5. Interesting point.....

...that Hillary would need to be propped up to get the AA vote for sure.
