Wednesday night’s “Daily Show” took a departure from Jon Stewart’s ongoing battle with Fox News and focused one of its segments on the terrible wildfires in Arizona. Or, more importantly, the fact that Arizona Senator John McCain has said publicly that illegal immigrants — not high winds, drought or high temperatures — started some of the fires.ohn McCain made headlines this week addressing his home state of Arizona’s perilous wildfires, passing the blame for them onto illegal immigrants.
Given that he later stated he had never blamed immigrants for the fire currently taking over parts of the state, Jon Stewart wanted a further clarification of his original statement. Unfortunately, “John McCain f*cking hates us,” Stewart noted of the Daily Show, so he had to settle for “John McCain,” his puppet doppelganger.
“Puppet John McCain” was very clear in explaining how his original position was not inconsistent with subsequent claim that he had not blamed illegal immigrants for the fires. “I never said immigrants started the fire,” he told Stewart, “I said immigrants start fires.”
