Republican apathy toward hurricane victims

Remember how George Bush and John McCain were partying while poor people in New Orleans were dying? People all over the world watched the horror unfold in Louisiana and the scenes look similar to what we associate with Africa.

Being an election year, the Republicans were far more careful in the wake of hurricane Gustav, but Cindy McCain still wore a $300,000 outfit to ask for money (I wonder why she simply didn't auction her outfit on eBay?). And other Republicans attending the convention in Minneapolis didn't seem to care about fellow Americans in trouble. Watch this great video from Jon Stewart on the apathy of Republicans.

Who is Samantha Bee?

Of course the kings of comedy are Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert but let us not forget that they also employ some of the finest comedians. For instance, Steve Carrell, one of the hottest stars in Hollywood now, used to work on The Daily Show.

One of the most talented people now on the show is Samantha Bee or as fans like me call her: Sam Bee. She is unique in many ways. She is Canadian (apparently she is trying to get American citizenship, typically given to lawful permanent residents after 5 years of residence in the country or after three years to spouses of American citizens, which does not apply to her as her husband Jason Jones, another comedian on the show, is a Canadian too) but perfectly at home mocking Americans. Until the arrival of Kristen Schaal, she was the only woman on the show.

Watch this beautiful and funny video in which Samanta Bee profiles herself but what you must notice is the piece in which Jon Stewart is either trying to be a metrosexual or a gay with that pink shirt on and a sweater on his shoulders, which is a total turn off to most men.
