It's not the fact that she's pretty or that she shoots things, says Stewart--"that's actually my favorite part."

Jon Stewart, reacting to the right’s explanations for why liberals don’t like Sarah Palin, presents an argument that could definitely be the last word on why the former Governor of Alaska needs to go away. It’s not the fact that she’s pretty or that she shoots things, he says–“that’s actually my favorite part”–but the fact that when one looks beyond those quirks, there is no “everything else” to find. “When you peel back the pretty, shooty layers of the Palin onion, there’s no onion,” he points out, referring to Palin’s recent interviews to showcase her clear lack of expertise in anything beyond mere culture-war talking points. A must-watch, and ideally one of the last moments of clarification that non-Palin fans will need to make.
