political discussion is remarkably sexist

The Daily Show and Samantha Bee took on the news outlets for describing the preference of and pandering to women voters in terms of "what turns them on." Honestly, it is really disgusting when you think about it. "Biden did this, Romney did that, I don't that that's going to turn women on..." Would they ever refer to men, or even minority voting blocks in terms of sexually arousing them? Or even, "Why yes, that Obama really turns Latinos on." WTF?

In her wonderful segment...


...Jon Stewart and Samantha Bee argue that women voters can be broken down in terms of their Playboy stat sheets, and the famous sheet of "Turn Ons." I had to freeze frame the scene to catch this, which is pretty awesome.
