I recently saw what was one of my all time favorite segments of the dailly show. Its simply incredible how much the gender card is abused and it is great the someone finally brought it into attention. John Stewart is basically pointing out how we should just forget it compleatly whenever it was in terms of Hilary Clinton or Sarah Palin. Please, republican or democrat, give this a look. I know the daily show is very biased (although they certainly don' try to hide like a certain "fair and unbiased" news I can think of), but there is interesting content and it really does make a good point. It's also hilarious as usual. http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index ... ender-card
By the way, he does often point out the hypocracy of democrats as well. Those who are honest in the news and media and in politics (if there are any) are rarely discusses like this on the daily show.

I don't want to talk about that here, I don't want to afend other users. This clip doesn't have much to do with her as much so as the double standard of the gender card in news media. I don't want to give people the wrong idea and scare them away from looking at the video.
