Vegetarian Star

Jon Stewart‘s final episode of The Daily Show aired this week, marking 15 years of comedy and satire that occasionally was more informative than traditional news.

The topics of improving America’s diets, animal welfare and the earth have all been big topics in recent years and Stewart never failed to put a witty spin on these issues during his tenure.

He poked fun of big farms and the regulations that aim to improve them. He covered whistle blowers in the animal rights community with funny but informative skits. He invited noted animal researcher Jane Goodall to discuss protection of endangered species.

Sarah Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska has made some environmentalists and animal rights activists happy, due to her stance on issues such as aerial wolf hunting.

As usual, comedians have chosen to make fun of the situation.

Here’s a clip from a recent The Daily Show with John Stewart making fun of Palin’s resignation speech.

Jon satirizes the following paragraph in Palin’s “good-bye” speech:

“You’re going to see anti-hunting, anti-second amendment circuses from Hollywood and here’s how they do it,” Palin said. “They use these delicate, tiny, very talented celebrity starlets, they use Alaska as a fundraising tool for their anti-second amendment causes. Stand strong, and remind them patriots will protect our guaranteed, individual right to bear arms, and by the way, Hollywood needs to know, we eat, therefore we hunt.”

Jon mocks Palin using every argument from armed hamsters in the new G Force movie to eating wolf burgers.
