Stewart Takes On The Palin Family Media Circus (VIDEO)

Last night on "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart addressed all the recent headlines surrounding the Palin family. Aside from the premiere of "Sarah Palin's Alaska," Palin daughters Bristol and Willow have been in the news for their dancing and homophobic slurs, respectively.

Stewart doesn't know why someone would shoot their television because Bristol Palin moved on in "Dancing With The Stars" this week, or why national media outlets would care if 16-year-old Willow Palin used gay slurs on her Facebook page, but Sarah Palin's TLC reality show is definitely fair game. Clips from "Sarah Palin's Alaska" that show the former governor expressing fear and amazement at what seem to be normal outdoor Alaskan activities proved to Stewart that Palin really isn't the "pioneer woman she has so often told us she is."

"You've never done any of that s**t before!" Stewart exclaimed. "That'd be like me going 'Come see my New York' and then going 'Oh my God, who honked their horn?!'"

Much like Colbert did the night before last, Stewart decided to produce his own version of "Sarah Palin's Alaska," starring "Daily Show" correspondent Jason Jones and his hometown in New Jersey. "Jason Jones' Bayonne" takes a look inside Jones' life and the untamed beauty of a town surrounded by sewage treatment plants.

Is it just me or is anyone else left with the impression that she's never done the activities she's doing on her show? I saw a trailer of the show and almost barfed. It was like watching a high school production of the Sound of Music....with really bad talent.

The entire family is just sad. Where most would try to avoid the spotlight, ignorance has a way of simply beaming on.

BRILLIANT! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

This is what life will be like when Sarah runs for President. We will be laughing our asses all the way to 2012!

What a shame for us all, to take someone so stupid, so seriously.

Sarah Palin, who hates the lamestream media....has become the lamestream media. How ironic.

Gotta love John! He is the only real one out there in media land and always tells it like it it!
Palin is an idiot who loved spotlighting her family. If I hear her say "family off limits" after all this, I will probably "shoot my tv set"! LOL

why can't Palin do anything without injecting her political opinions into it? it just makes you dislike her even more, if that's possible.

All that grizzly bear and stuff in her show are props. Just watching only 10 mins of it and you can tell she's not really an outdoor person. It's all a fraud. fake, fake, fake!

Jon knows the "real pulse" of this "great land of ours". Thanks for cutting through the bull, and most importantly, making it all still bearable.

The only reason why the Palin's are popular is that people are curious to see a messed up American family can be.

Its like a dog that returns back to smell its vomit. Thus humans are the same in that respect.

I will never, ever forgive John McCain for unleashing the Palins on us.

Huffington Post moderation is out of control. I just had a perfectly reasonable post removed and I can't even think why. Allowing level 2 moderators to just delete any message they want is obviously being abused.

Did they skip the Bayonne Bridge? Classic Americana.
