The Daily Show and Paul Hackett

Tonight the Daily Show did a feature on Paul Hackett, and it was brilliant. Hackett totally played along as Ed Helms taught him how to be a candidate turned out by the Democratic machine--emotionless, non-controversial, no backbone.

The segment was not as detailed or full of seething rage and disgust as my rant about what is wrong with the Democratic Party (which was primarily about how Hackett got screwed by the Party), but it was more entertaining and loaded with dead pan sarcasm.

Gee, was it coincidence that this segment ran right after Russ Feingold called the Party a bunch of cowering pansies?
