In this terrific segment from The Daily Show, Samantha Bee pokes fun at the media's obsession with the "is American ready for a woman president?" question. She includes spoofs of Sex in the City and Perez Hilton, as well as references to Vh1 reality shows and Jimmy Carter's "man-musk". Also included is a surreal interview with conservative writer La Shawn Barber, who although a woman herself, actually says with confidence that women are the "weaker sex" and that they're not qualified to lead. Oh and there's a surprise celebrity cameo at the end. Check out the video to your right for more.

Digg!

I guess all of us men and women alike have the rights to rule and show our ability in any event..Ruling a country does not need physical strength which man has more compared to woman. It needs intelligence. And i think man & woman alike are given equal share of this virtue..KYB Shocks

Funny.

I like the scene in the clothing store..."Kim was right. The gold top did look good on me."
