The Daily Show for August 11 was on fire, including a notable interview with David Wallace on David Crockett (Congress could use more legislators like him), a beautiful expose of the hypocrisy of FOX News anchor Megyn Kelly, and, as shown above, a frank explanation of the Ames Straw Poll. Contrast this to the reports on NPR this morning, which proposed that Bachmann's win indicates major transformations to political discourse in Minnesota. No, NPR, it only indicates that the Ames, Iowa Straw Poll is an old-fashioned political machination that has excessive significance.
