Daily Show's Jon Stewart, loyal Ticket reader, wraps up his holiday shopping
Gee, here's a really great video below about an amazing blog item, which may look quite familiar to loyal Ticket readers, from one of television's greatest cable channels and truly creative programs, "The Daily Show."
It's about Planned Parenthood of Indiana now offering special festive gift certificates good for its services. Nothing says the year-end holiday celebrations of life like a real professional abortion.
That Jon Stewart is a funny guy too, who can spot a good story when he sees one. And tell it with tongue in cheek excellently.
Obviously, he's also got excellent blog-reading taste. Thanks, Jon! (Now, why won't this video go in the middle where it's supposed to?)

No doubt Jon gets cellphone alerts on each new Ticket item after registering here. Or maybe he gets the RSS feed by registering here.

Question: What do Planned Parenthood and women's health care have to do with Top of the Ticket, a blog about presidential elections?
Answer: Nothing. Except that Andrew Malcolm is typical right-wing sleaze--Sean Hannity as Grampa McCoy--who knows how to sensationalize and misrepresent a story for maximum Twitter effect. Screw reporting, as long as you get Web hits.
Malcolm says Jon Stewart knows a good story when he sees one. No, he knows a joke when he sees one.
